I use Opera too and I logged on to Hotmail and read my mail OK today. There was a new layout but it was the same in IE.

Opera users are often in this sort of position because too many websites implement features and technologies which only work properly in IE (try the search function on PC World or Dixons for instance)
One workaround is to use a special Opera feature which allows you to use the IE engine to open particular sites in an Opera tab (this is what I do)
It compromises Opera's wonderful security to some extent of course.
Have a peek at http://operawiki.info/CustomButtons as a starting point.

A few years back - I tried to use the Jessops website and had just this problem - so I kept emailling them until I got a response.

which is not to say that we shouldn't keep trying of course
Opera also have a forum section dedicated to this subject and themselves keep the pressure up on such sites

I had a go at two of SWMBO's craft suppliers, told them if they want my trade, cange your website, they did, now works in all browsers.
Also had trouble with Weightwatchers, - must be us,- we have tested it with Firefox 1.0 that works, pointed out that it is now up to 3.0 eventually agreed

None so keen as the new convert - recall IBM and it's long stand to keep SNA as the comms protocol, then a sudden switch to TCP / IP and they became missionaries for the cause.

However getting back to the OP's point I think MS would do it on purpose for obvious reasons
