Their audience is people who still use Myspace.
Isn't that the complement (in the maths/logic sense) of their target audience for the redesign? Surely they're trying to attract new users or those who've drifted/moved/run away from MySpace.

I have to say as a fellow designer. Great work! It looks stunning I hope it works as well as it looks cause that is probably more important than the visual aesthetics.
Thanks mate, I'll pass the praise on to the design team. I'm on the dev team here, so my involvement hasn't been as great as theirs. The response from the video seems to be pretty positive, hopefully everyone is just as impressed when the final site is ready for the public to use. I am a bit biased here because I'm proud of the work my colleagues have done, but it definitely is one of the nicest looking music product…
The Opera landing page is not just disappointing, it's downright offensive. As someone who never used MySpace and is a fleeting Facebook user, I would've been interested in seeing the new product and willing to sign up and see if it's improved at all. As it stands right now, not only am I not going to use it based on this stupidity, I'm going to make sure none of the people I could've brought over from Facebook don't…
As a computer scientist and an Opera user this actually insults me: http://i.imgur.com/7k0bN.png Ironically Opera was the one who proposed the -tag which this site uses for it's rotating LP, in 2007. [1] Way to exclude users. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video#History_of_.3Cvideo...
I hate it when design agencies try this hard to be cool.
It's condescending comments like these that give HN a bad name. Let me know when you redesign a large social site like MySpace and then we'll talk.

I think you and others are really being overly sensitive about this. Yes, they probably shouldn't have called your favourite browser outdated, but it's obvious that it was an oversight, and consequence of taking an informal tone with giving a message. A message necessitated by choosing not to support the major browser with the smallest market share in their "preview" release. I like it when larger, more corporate sit…
There is a middle ground, it is called a simple, straight forward message, something like "We don't support your browser". No shark needed, no suggestions that the user "doesn't use the internet much" or are "at their parent's house". Though the idea of MySpace trying to put on a hipster front is hilarious in the irony. Really? MySpace still exists as an actual thing?

"Hey friend, it looks like you are using Opera. Beware, pal, that we don't go to the opera down here on the ranch, so there may be rough-riding ahead! Try one of these nifty browsers buddy, or sally forth into the unknown. OK, pardner?"
This is a preview. Complain if they launch publicly like this, otherwise, cut them some slack.
The song is oddly appropriate. Who am I to say I want you back? When you were never mine to give away. I was waiting for a long, long time for you to feel the same.
Just watched the video [1] in entirety. One point, you can tell this is a total work in progress/concept, and that the UI is also most likely staged at this point. (I make this observation based on the fact that every post had "12 Connects", "3 Comments" and "2 Shares". Surely if you put this much effort into production of a video you would change these numbers?) Anyway, features which I picked up from the video... -…
I loved the lyrics to the song: Maybe I'm ashamed to want you back Maybe I'm afraid you'll never stay Thought I hated you a long long time There was my mistake Those were my thoughts exactly.

There's nothing wrong with looking like Windows 8 at the moment!
Maybe it's okay to visually look like windows 8, but functionally it's looking like a complete disaster.
