"Internet Explorer 6 will be SEVEN years old on August 27th. It came out a few weeks before the Twin Towers fell. It came out before the Nintendo GameCube. It came out before the first iPod.
It’s time to put a deadline on dropping IE6, and I say that time is now, and the deadline should be soon… say like, March 2009" - IE6 Death March
I completely agree with this. Think about how much time you have wasted writing browser hacks for the IE6. Plus the browser is really insecure and unstable. I have a put a little code snippet together which I am using on my website. Feel free to use it on your own site. It is using conditional comments.

You are using Internet Explorer 6 or even an older version. This browser is outdated and very insecure.
Think about installing a newer browser, e.g.
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Internet-explorer/download-ie.aspx">Microsoft Internet Explorer 7</a>
or
<a href="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/de/firefox/">Mozilla Firefox</a>.
