The report has sparked anger from IE supporters, who have threatened AptiQuant with legal action.

BBC article said:
...while minority browsers Opera and Camino had an "exceptionally higher" score of over 120

"Exceptionally higher"? Gah, it's not even good English. Why is it on Aptiquant's website?

Maybe Internet Explorer is for the (comparatively) dumb, I can live with that. However I also share some doubts that people with an IQ of 80 (or less since this is an average) constitute a large part of the browsing public.

I can verify this as 100% true as a long time Opera user!
