That sounds kinda malicious and not at all like a good idea.

If you don't want to support old IE, then don't support it. If you have to support it because enough of your customers still use it, then why would you want their browser to crash?

It's a terrible idea, although if every website started including stuff like this then users might complain enough for IT shops to relax their stupid restrictions and allow them to use a more modern browser. :P

I'm confident that most of the people using e.g. IE7 are already quite aware that their browser sucks. I think their life is hard enough already without people intentionally messing with them.
