What about the much-maligned contest in Australia that encouraged people to upgrade? What about the "Browser for the Better" program that gave out meals to the poor for every user who upgraded to IE8? What about the prompts to upgrade to IE8 on most Microsoft web properties over the past half a year? More like the author "finally" noticed.

Just a shame so many ie6 people have IT overlords that mandate its use .. hopefully that will change as more convert to windows 7.
