5.2.1. 1. Not as easy to upgrade, though more companies are starting to offer upgrade options

5.2.2. 2. The EULA agreement states that you are not allowed to install its OS on any PC. So no dual booting allowed on another non Mac system,

7.1.1. 1. The download and program size is much smaller than IE, and it offers multiple ways to improve the speed.

7.1.2. 2. Virus and hacking threats and techniques that are made to attack personal computers are targeted towards the most used browser: Internet Explorer. Since Opera is lesser known, it is safe from the majority of attacks.

7.2. Cons:

7.2.1. 1. Opera is a separate company, so downloading is necessary. For slow connections, downloading this program could be difficult and you may have problems getting it downloaded.

7.2.2. 2. IE is integrated with the operating system. It's already installed on the computer, so your computer will download the latest version, patches, and any other related tool for you, providing you use automatic updates.
