I've done the same for sites I have designed, I just don't bother to support IE6 any more. I usually leave a nice little tag that only displays in IE6 telling them to join 2004 with the rest of us. If enough people do things like this, then hopefully a critical mass can be reached whereby even the morons decide IE6 is a waste of time...

That is obviously a complete lie, you can't have been in the UK if you experienced trains being on time.... Didn't the German accents give away your real location? :)

Every windows upgrade I've ever done on my own hardware has involved a clean install, initially this was beacause by the time windows was due to be upgraded so was my hardware but not so much nowdays, windows 7 may be the first time I've upgraded an MS OS without at the very least a hard drive upgrade. None of the above is true for any flavour of linux I've ever had. Not sure what that tells you....

Our Linux servers work just fine. Ironically seeing as we're a charity and Microsoft gives v.generous discounts to charities and the like, our Redhat licenses cost us more than Windows would (at least that's what my boss tells me and I don't see why he'd be lying). Given the above, why on earth would we spend more money on Linux than Microsoft if it didn't work better for our needs?
