I just wrote about XMLHttpRequest the last time, only to realize later that it was not supported in Opera - the third most popular browser - despite support by Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Safari in some flavor or other. Yes you gessed it right, GMail, A9 and Google Local don't work with Opera (or so I understand - am I wrong?).
However, Simon Willison's feed today alerted me to the fact that the Opera 7.60 Preview 1 for Windows will now be supporting the XMLHttpRequest object. I am putting my money on this getting much bigger than it already is. What do you think?

XMLHttpRequest In The New Opera

A9 should work in Opera as it doesn't use XMLHttpRequest - it uses hidden iframes for remote scripting instead. Google Local should degrade gracefully - Opera users will just have to wait for a full page reload when they refocus the map. I don't think GMail works in Opera (disclaimer: I haven't tested any of these).
