Yeah it doesn't have it but to me... saying that's the lone reason you're keeping 9.7 is like saying I'd rather own a penny than a quarter becuase I like the color copper better.

This analogy makes no sense! I prefer 9.7 because it has a feature I like and use frequently. Does everyone need to go buy a new razor if their old one works well? No.

There's no "intelligent one click zooming" in Opera 10. By default, the double-tap zoom is set at 100%. You can change this to anywhere from 60% - 200%. But it's a static setting without any intelligence behind the zoom.

IMO I think Opera 10 should be stock and user have the option to put the 9.7 cab on

To be fair, I installed Opera 10 with the 3D3 drivers (actually, I discover this is the same as NeoS2007_Driverpack_3, which I was already using) for the past couple days. I do notice slightly smoother scrolling but that's my only pro for Opera 10. I find it's slower to display sites and doesn't link to the Sense bookmark tab.
At any rate, all I'm trying to say is that given the ease and lack of benefit from cooking in Opera 10, it's simply better to NOT cook it in and let those who want to install it themselves.
