Just like pretty much every single web developer out there, I hate IE, regardless of it’s version. IE7 made great leaps and bounds over IE6 but it was still stupidly buggy. How do you get around the annoyances of IE?

The guys over at ie6update.com have a great solution by emulating Internet Explorers information bar and giving users the bait to upgrade to IE7/IE8.

Although I’m all for this idea there are obvious problems here

The majority of users who are still using IE6 are either within corporate networks, where they will more than likely never have the administration rights to upgrade to IE7/IE8 or they are just too stubborn to upgrade to the latest version of IE any way, or they’re of course, using an older version of Windows and can’t be bothered or don’t want to upgrade to the latest OS (I can see why).
