I get a banner at the top saying I should use a newer browser like IE7 when I'm using IE7.

  Thanks for pointing this out. You should only see the banner on IE6. We'll fix that.

    Bonus points for blocking IE6. Good luck with your product! Anyone blocking IE6 has a place in my heart for that reason alone.

      Bonus points? Stupid move. If it's irrelevant to the business they should take it down. Only has the potential to turn away customers with no upside.

        Well, the business upside is that they can work on features instead of debugging a broken browser. A more esoteric upside would be that a company that speaks out visibly against IE gives me, a technical minded customer, this warm tingly feeling inside. It suggests that someone in the company is like-minded with me. Which in turn suggests that their product and direction might appeal to me, too. It'd obviously be a different story if this was a product aiming for joe sixpack and the mass-market. But since messaging APIs are a hard sell in the joe-sixpack market in first place I can only applaud their move; focus your resources on the product, not on the latest IE bug.

        The product is for developers, though. I don't think I've met a developer who uses IE6 in the past, oh, 6 years.
