We didn't put "this PNG file doesn't look right because you are useing
IE6" anywhere. Effectively suggesting that people should switch to
anyone browser is the kind of thing that is likely to cause problems
down the road. Ideally we will always be introducing new formats and
the like and when that happens other providers will have a legitimate
complaint  if we don't recommend them.


Incidentally in the demo version the smaller version of the file (the
thumbnail) the recommendation doesn't work too well in seamoneky
1.1.17 since it escapes the video box.

Works fine in IE 6 though which is probably more important.
