CSS Conditional Statements

I know this is possible for css conditional formatting:

<!--[if !IE]>
   link/css style goes here
<![endif]-->

But is is possible to have an OR statement in there? Such as:

<!--[if !IE or !Opera]>
    link/css style goes here
<![endif]-->

Thanks in advance!

Conditional Comments are an IE-specific feature, and will be ignored by opera etc.

They do support "or", however in the form of a pipe like so;

<!-- [if (IE 6)|(IE 7)]>
    this is only seen by IE 6 and 7
<![endif]-->

EDIT

As commented, it is indeed preferable to write cross-browser-compatible CSS when possible, and use conditional comments only as a last resort. To make life easier, be sure to avoid quirks mode and use feature detection over user agent sniffing. Check out the modernizr library which helps with the latter.
