[TYPO3-english] Gifbuilder - GIFs for IE6 and PNG for all other browsers ?

[Thijs Hakkenberg]

  If I were you I'd just use a notice for IE6 users and save yourself 
the trouble.
If you look at the market share of IE6:
2010 	IE8 <http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp> 	IE7 
<http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp> 	IE6 
<http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp> 	Firefox 
<http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_firefox.asp> 	Chrome 
<http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_chrome.asp> 	Safari 
<http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_safari.asp> 	Opera 
<http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_opera.asp>
June 	15.7% 	8.1% 	7.2% 	46.6% 	15.9% 	3.6% 	2.1%
May 	16.0% 	9.1% 	7.1% 	46.9% 	14.5% 	3.5% 	2.2%
April 	16.2% 	9.3% 	7.9% 	46.4% 	13.6% 	3.7% 	2.2%
March 	15.3% 	10.7% 	8.9% 	46.2% 	12.3% 	3.7% 	2.2%
February 	14.7% 	11.0% 	9.6% 	46.5% 	11.6% 	3.8% 	2.1%
January 	14.3% 	11.7% 	10.2% 	46.3% 	10.8% 	3.7% 	2.2%

it's less then 8%. Still a large share, but not large enough imho to 
make modifications.
I use this ext to politely inform people with IE6:
