All this hand wringing over old browser compatibility puzzles me. Aren't marketers always trying to segment the market? Don't we go through great lengths to track and id, who's young, who's rich, who's what ever?
So isn't IE6 a dead give away with who you're dealing with? And how could advanced features and functionality also be targeted at the same demographic?
If you detect IE6 bring out the flashing "click here to win a prize" shit.
If you see Firefox 3.0 go nuts with web 2.0 "Learn Erlang now!!!!"

Absolutely not. I expect only a tiny segment of IE6 users are doing it because they don't want to upgrade, the rest are because they cannot upgrade (i.e. in a corporate environment).
