Not quite. I don't think we are saying that people with high IQs embrace ALL change. We are just saying they are not afraid of experimenting. When they reject a product, they do so because they have tested it out and found it to be inferior. They collect evidence and make decisions based on it. It's hard to argue against IE's backwardness in terms of user-friendliness, add-on support, speed... etc. So yeah, it's probably true that IE users are not the smartest of internet users. The same goes for people who avoid or badmouth alternative products (or ideas) purely because they have never used them.

I use opera mini, opera web and Firefox. Does that mean I'm super genius?

This research is just pure bull crap!, did they do a rider on product availability! when you say 80% of the IE users were africans, the argument moves from more IQ to more mellanine read black castigation.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

On the other hand, older browsers are so user-unfriendly that you need to have an IQ score several points north of a genius in order to use them. So Mozilla, Chrome, Opera, Camino, Ocampo etc users are certifiable vegetables.


It seems perhaps you are using IE6?

Next he will be asking "How do I know if I am using IE or Mozilla?"

Well said@ seppuku.


@murenj.. don't switch from IE (in a bid to up your 'IQ') just yet... you may find you're already using IE with Chrome frame...
... hehehe & that puts you straight into the 'above average IQs'
