Re: Upgrade from IE 6 already...

I think you need to re-evaluate your end goals, and your method to get there.

Some 300,000 corporate computers at my company aren't going to be updated because of some campaign. I suspect other companies are the same.

Presenting us with a very annoying message about which we can do nothing may not be the best avenue to impress folks reading your website. Especially if the FIRST website judges are using similarly locked down corporate computers (likely) to judge your website.

My IE6 renders 99% of the sites I visit correctly. Indeed - yesterday I had to close Chrome and Firefox and return to IE6 to get several streaming sites to work correctly - because only certain codecs are installed on the corporate computers and they only function correctly with certain programs - namely IE6. It isn't as simple as just installing a new browser on those hundreds of thousands of corporate computers you're talking about.
