AptiQuant寫到: Internet Explorer Study Was Indeed A Hoax
Ok, now that the cat is out of the bag, I agree that this study was a total hoax. There is no company called AptiQuant, and not such survey was ever done. We are really surprised that it took so long for people to figure it out, a mere “whois” on the domain could have revealed it all.
Again, this was all meant to be a lighthearted joke. We did not mean to insult anyone, but if we have hurt anybody’s feelings, we apologize for that. But what’s really funny is that everybody took the report so seriously, with comments like “Oh did we need such a study, we already knew that.”
In the end, we are once again sorry if I this report hurt your feelings. The main purpose behind this hoax was to create awareness about the incompatibilities of IE6 and how it is pulling back innovation. So, if you are still using IE6, please update to a newer browser.
We got this idea when adding some features to our comparison shopping website, www.AtCheap.com, we found out that IE6 was highly incompatible with web standards. IE 7.0 and 8.0, though better than 6.0 are still incompatible with not only with the standards, but with each other too.
PS: Apologies to Central Test for copying their material, we are in the process of removing it ASAP.

AptiQuant 甚麼鬼的IE研究根本是唬爛出來的，目的是想看看電腦前的你對於學術研究與網路八卦的分辨能力...
你們通通被唬弄了
