Re: Upgrade from IE 6 already...

You used to see a lot with commercial sites suggesting which browser to use to best view their site. You know only see this with some banking sites and financial sites. There are some technical reasons they do this. I hit this yesterday when i filled out the FAFSA.

Given the aggressive windows update process, most users of licensed versions of windows have already upgraded. The ones that have not are either corporate workstations whose IT departments need to keep all users equal or users of unlicensed windows versions who cannot upgrade.

My suggestion is to code around it if necessary and don't put out the "Not Welcome IE6" sign. The ones that can have already upgraded or are using another browser. The ones that can't are used to sites not displaying correctly.
