On marginal hardware, Opera can make the difference between usable and not.
Opera is just bad@ss. I'm surprised he didn't talk more about Unite.

I have been using the alpha 64-bit build (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html) and that has been working without problems.

That's funny...the first release Wikipedia lists is Opera 2.0 in 1996...and considering Slackware was released in 1993, and as I recall was a fairly complete operating system.....I really wonder where they get these ideas from...or maybe it's just a plain lack of research.
As for why it isn't more successful, I suspect part of it has to do with the fact that they kept switching the license from "free" to "shareware" to "free with ads" back and forth over a period of time and some people just got tired of the games and gave up on it.
But yes, it is a nice browser. I use it for some sites that don't behave particularly well in Firefox (usually when I'm working with several flash sites..we all know how painful flash can be in 64 bit Firefox at times...)
Sadly it's not FREE.
