Older than IE6, Old OS:
ALERT! Your Browser is OBSOLETE!!!I see you're using an Internet Explorer version older than Internet Explorer 6. Sadly, your computer's operating system is too old to accept a modern browser upgrade. It is time to buy a new computer. |

Older than IE6, Newer OS:
ALERT! Your Browser is OBSOLETE!!!
I see you're using a version of Internet Explorer older than Internet Explorer 6.
Your version of Internet Explorer is clearly from the last century. Fortunately, the underlying operating system looks like it is new enough to accept an upgrade.
I recommend an upgrade to Mozilla Firefox.
Firefox has:
- Tab support
- Strong security protection
- Strong privacy protection
- Solid JavaScript speed
- HTML 5 Support

IE6:
ALERT! Your Browser is OBSOLETE!!!
I see you're using Internet Explorer 6.
Internet Explorer 6 is not supported by this website or many others. Even Microsoft won't support Internet Explorer 6 with its latest web applications. Security protection is nonexistent and exploits are very well known. Furthermore, Internet Explorer 6 has only partial standards support that is horribly bug-ridden. Finally, Internet Explorer 6 has lackluster PNG image support that doesn't support transparency leaving PNG images with odd color patches and misshapen.

IE7:
ALERT! Your Browser is OBSOLETE!!!
I see you're using Internet Explorer 7.
Your browser is out-of-date. Microsoft has left Internet Explorer 7 with nearly the same Web 1.0 JavaScript engine as the past version. This was good around 1999-2001 with repeating animations, but bad for using any modern web application like Gmail. Furthermore, Internet Explorer 7 has poor standards support along with only necessary bug fixes over Internet Explorer 6.

IE8:
WARNING! Your Browser is Slow!!!
I see you're using Internet Explorer 8.
Your browser is fairly modern and safe, but is very slow and not completely standard compliant. Microsoft has left Internet Explorer 8 with nearly the same Web 1.0 JavaScript engine as the past two versions. This was good around 1999-2001 with repeating animations, but bad for using any modern web application like Gmail. Furthermore, Internet Explorer 8 doesn't recognize all modern standards meaning that webpages don't always look or function as intended.
Worse, being as you're on Windows XP, this is the last update Microsoft will send to your computer. You will always be stuck with a truly out of date web browser. This will get more problematic as with each passing year the Internet requires faster JavaScript processing and HTML 5 features neither of which Internet Explorer 8 has.
I recommend an upgrade to Mozilla Firefox.

IE8 Compatibility Mode:
WARNING! Your Browser is Slow!!!
I see you're using Internet Explorer 8 in Compatibility Mode.
Just to let you know that my website works without Compatibility Mode on. I don't recommend you use that old non-standard Internet Explorer mode at all.

IE9:
Notice! Your browser is Not Modern!
I see you're using Internet Explorer 9.
Internet Explorer 9 is fastest, safest, most standards compliant browser Microsoft has made. This would be an accomplishment if the comparison wasn't to IE6. According to When Can I Use... Web Standards Compatibility Table, Firefox 4 scores 86% while Internet Explorer 9 scores 59%, which measures up quite favorably to the Two Year Old Firefox 3.5's score of 57%. According to The HTML5 Test (beta) Score Chart, Firefox 4 scores 255 points plus 9 bonus points while Internet Explorer 9 scores 130 points plus 5 bonus points, which measures slightly worse than the Two Year Old Firefox 3.5's score of 142 points plus 4 bonus points.
I recommend an upgrade to Mozilla Firefox.
Firefox has:
- HTML 5 Forms
(validation/CSS 3 selectors) - SMIL (SVG) Animations
- WebGL (3D Standard)

Windows 2000:
ALERT! Operating System is OBSOLETE!!!
I see you're using Windows 2000.
As an operating system, Windows 2000 has always lacked driver support. It has never had Windows XP's recovery systems. Furthermore, When Windows XP got Vista security features in Service Pack 2 along with Internet Explorer 6 SP2, Windows 2000 got nothing. This lack of a rebuilt security backend meant that Windows 2000 could never run Internet Explorer above version 6 SP1 leaving Windows 2000 vulnerable to driveby installs and other malware.

Windows XP:
ALERT! Operating System is OBSOLETE!!!
I see you're using Windows XP.
I know what your saying, Microsoft says it will support Windows XP until April 2014. True, but that doesn't mean that Windows XP is current. This old operating system doesn't work with modern hardware. Windows XP lacks hardware acceleration interfaces like Direct2D and DirectWrite. Need I even mention the complete and total lack of underlying security. Also, Windows XP is a 32 bit operating system in 64 bit world that can't take advantage of 64 bit hardware protection schemes and has a memory cap of 3GB. Windows XP was good circa the years 2001 to 2003, but its already well past 2010. Windows XP just isn't the future anymore.

Windows XP x64:
WARNING! Operating System is Legacy.
I see you're using Windows XP x64.
Windows XP x64 was and is a freak operating system. It is neither here nor there as it is a 64 bit version of Windows Server 2003 built to function like a 32 bit Windows XP. If you want real 64 bit support, you should just use Windows 7 x64, which is standard and supported properly.

Vista Mainstream Support:
WARNING! Operating System is Not Current Version.
I see you're using Windows Vista.
While it is great that you are using a modern system, you should really upgrade to Windows 7.
Vista Death Countdown
On April 10, 2012, Vista will be left behind on Extended Support with only security patches. To continue feature support, you must upgrade in:

Vista Extended Support:
ALERT! Operating System is OBSOLETE!!!
I see you're using Windows Vista.
Vista is a dead operating system. I know what you'te thinking, "I just got this computer 5 years ago, how can Vista be dead when Windows XP is still supported?" Let me start with the second part of that statement first, Windows XP is also obsolete and has been obsolete since it went on 'Extended Support' for security patches only without any new feature upgrades. Can you guess which other operating system just got switched over to 'Extended Support'? Yup, that's right, Vista. Vista is already feeling the effects of being put on 'Extended Support' as Internet Explorer 10 won't install on it. Soon, Vista will diverge so much from Windows 7 and Windows 8 feature wise and compatibility wise as to be left completely in the dust.
Windows 7 has:
- Better Performance
- Better, Stronger Security
- Great User Experience
