Explorer Destroyer, last call: switch to a /real/ browser

PCWorld is running astory about Explorer Destroyer' movement takes aim at Microsoft's browser.. The campaign in action can be found at explorerdestroyer.com.

Get this tool for switching people from IE to Firefox.
For each person you switch, Google gives you $1, Microsoft loses marketshare, and an angel gets its wings.

I'm not sure if this negative campaign will let John D switch from the browser that came with OS to a /real/ browser he has to download, install and configure. Even if Firefox is useability wise, secucurity wise and standard wise the best thing on the net.
There are three settings, from a froienldy popup to blicking IE users all together. Now the last one is just as bad as stupid old sites telling me my browser isnt /modern/ enough and I need to "upgarde" to IE6.. Yek, so please dont use that option, lets just make users aware that the web needs to be open and you cant do that by closing them out!

There will an entry that includes sites having less then 50% IE users. On a good day my site will qualify for that, on average I have 55% IE users on my site.

The reason I tagged this "Drupal" as well? There is even a Drupal module for it at filbar.org. I might install that one, it is however 4.6 and 4.7 will be comming out in in the next month or so...
