We should direct people to proper replacements:

* It's pretty transparent Microsoft tactics: Every copy of IE6 is a
   good target for migration to modern browsers (Firefox, Chrome,
   Safar, Opera)  However, they ask web administrators to "support the
   cause" by putting a banner pointing to.... (download another IE version)

* Also note that XP users (those that have IE6 installed)
  may hope at best for the old and cranky IE8 (MS said they're not
  going to have IE9 for XP)

People, please avoid pointing to this outright propaganda.
