I build websites, and even when we supported Internet explorer 6, my company wouldn't allow us to display a message like this. Anyone who ever developed a website for IE6 would know that if it were ever appropriate to display such a message, it was for IE6. It was atrocious beyond words. They ignored most of the standards and the browser was also just a security nightmare, yet still just on principle alone the idea was always shot down.
