the tripling is above what we would normally expect with a new version launch I read that as, "Our daily download rate tripling is above what we would expect for a new version launch." However, it is still off base to attribute it to the MS page - I downloaded the new version and have (at least temporarily) switched to Opera from Chrome due to the announcement here on Hacker Hews. I've never seen an Opera release here before, so that must count as a one-off too.
