What a great idea.
Use a better browser. There's no reason to surrender to IE because they won the first big battle in the browser war. Microsoft has its gigantic back turned. It's time to advocate (in more than snarking asides in geekspeak) that our sites will look better in better browsers.
Just because IE came installed on your machine doesn't mean you have to use it. There are alternatives that do a better job of displaying web pages, run better, crash less and are more secure (much much more secure).
Maybe it's time to restart the Web Standards Project's browser upgrade campaign...
