While you're having your say about what you'd like from Opera 10, you can enjoy the new beta for desktop: Opera 9.6. Check it out at http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/next/.

New and improved features
• Opera Link: Custom search engines and typed history now joins what you can synchronise with Opera Link.
• Feed Preview: Now you can preview an RSS/Atom feed before subscribing.
• Opera Mail: Low Bandwidth Mode is a setting on mail accounts that makes Opera Mail use as little bandwidth as possible.
• Follow/Ignore threads and contacts: Follow and Ignore are new features for users that receive numerous messages. It makes it easier to dismiss unimportant messages and easier to recognise important messages.

There are also changes to the user interface, display and scripting, news and chat. Check them all out in the changelog at http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/960b1/.
