For those who may not yet have been motivated to click the link (I wasn't
until I saw yet another pointer to it with some more info), it's a blog
entry from an Aussie company that's literally imposing a "tax"/surcharge to
customers who buy from their site using IE7. 

They're "doing their part" to get people to move off of it, and of course
they acknowledge that people can of course just freely switch to use another
browser to avoid the "tax". Indeed, that's the whole point (as they feel it
costs them and the internet as a whole to have to remain backward
compatibile.)

Interesting solution to the long-standing problem. By the comments there,
seems some others may follow suit.
