If you are going to do this please add a link to something to educate a user on how to upgrade and why as just pictures like yours come off confrontational and would probably leave casual computer users (who are the ones that can actually upgrade their browser) confused and probably irritated.

I agree, those pictures come across as unnecesarily flippant and rude. I don't need to be insulted by someone just because my web browser is out of date.

Good point. Can you suggest a web site that properly explains the issues with IE6 and how to upgrade in language that's appropriate for users who may not even know what a browser is? I bet there are some pages out there already like that.

Thanks. I'm using that at the moment, but I'm going to keep looking. The site doesn't get to the point fast enough and it doesn't suggest Google Chrome.
