Sounds good. I also would think about having Wikimedia banners at the top of the browser for users of IE6 through IE8 that caution them that they are using a browser and OS with security risks that might, among other things, leave them vulnerable to having their Wikimedia browsing, Wikimedia account security, and email account security be compromised.

Well windows 200 is not supported. And windows xp internet explorer 6 was only made for windows xp. And windows xp user should upgrade to internet explorer 8 because internet explorer 6 has not been updated in a long time and has a lot of security flows whereas internet explorer 7 and 8 have smiler designs but are different. Windows xp users should be encouraged to update to a newer os like windows 7 or higher or update there browser to internet explorer 8.
Windows XP is end of life. No version of IE (neither IE 6, IE 7, nor IE 8) are receiving security updates on XP.
This (and the fact that IE 6 is not supported on any other desktop OS either) is part of why I think we should drop IE 6 entirely for all enhancements over the basic experience.
We should not be encouraging people to use any browser on Windows XP, since the OS itself is not getting security updates.
