Telling them they should upgrade is but a small service website owners can use to help people upgrade their browser.

The ie6-upgrade-warning is a little script 7.9kb that displays a warning message politely informing the user to upgrade the browser to a newer version links to newest IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome are provided. The webpage is still visible behind a transparent background, but access to it is prevented. The idea is to force users to upgrade from IE6 and avoid the website from a bad reputation that website is not rendering correctly in IE6.

via ie6-upgrade-warning – Google Code.
