Possible Game Changer From.....Opera???

Big news from Opera today.  Wait, who?  You thought opera was just a type of musical theater?  Well, you are right, but it's also the name of a web browser that holds a whopping 2%-ish market share.  However that may be about to change with the release of their latest version - Opera Unite.

FastCompany writer Chris Dannen has a superb overview of what this could mean not only to the Opera Software company, but also to end users around the world.  Imagine a world where anyone, with zero tech knowledge, can share any and all files on their computers with anyone, anywhere.  You don't have to be a tech savvy kid in a college dorm "torrenting" to find the latest movies anymore.  If this browser proliferates, it will all be out there for you to snag. 

However, that is a very big IF.  Given their currently tiny marketshare, can Opera properly promote this new browser outside of the business geek circles I run in?  I'd love to know who is running their viral marketing campaigns for this product.  Anyone know?
