Yeah, but something more subtle might actually be appropriate. Presumably IE6 lingers so long because it doesn't cause *users* any problems. All the headache is on the side of web developers. If you make it a problem for users (eg, youtube doesn't work anymore, iirc), then they eventually make enough noise to bug their corporate masters to switch. Question is, where to draw the line? A simple "You're using a crappy browser, please upgrade" banner will be efficiently ignored. Refusal to serve the page at all is obnoxious. You need something a little sneaky like "You're using IE6. Retrieving IE6 support from software archive...loading....loading...<5 seconds>...done" Ok, that's obnoxious too, but it's the kind of thing users eventually go "Can I please have another browser, wikipedia is so slow".
