This is mean... At least I think it is mean. Right? It would be mean to fool people into upgrading their browsers...

Or are they the bad guys for having old browsers?

I think it's mean. I used IE6 up until maybe 3-4 months ago.

I will not be using IE8 until I buy a new computer. Even then, I may try and downgrade to IE7.

IE6 to IE7 was an uncomfortable change for many people.

I am very comfortable stating that IE7 to IE8 is a MUCH easier transition and IE8 is much better than 7.

Does IE6 Update install anything onto the user's computer?

Absolutely not. The IE6 Update bar simply provides a link to the official Internet Explorer website. From there, users can decide whether or not to upgrade.


Considering this, it seems more benign than anything.

They're offering exclusive songs for *updating*? Wtf? How about explaining the GOOD that the update does, rather than bribing people?

Seems like more of a threat than a bribe.
