Turn-about is fair play... Google is targeting IE6 users who use Gmail with a "Get faster Gmail" message (which only appears in IE6, not in Safari, Firefox, or Chrome). Google's support page explains that IE6 is slow at running Gmail: "In order to get the best experience possible and make Google Mail run an average of twice as fast, we suggest that you upgrade your browser to one of the fastest Google Mail supported browsers that work on Windows." The page offers download links to both Firefox and Chrome.
