Map the transparent layer of your PNG to a color
For those of us who still have to support IE6, one of the frustrating facts of life is that IE6 does not support full PNG-24 alpha transparency. Workarounds often include slow Javascript plugins, IE6 conditional CSS, or modifications to the visual design itself. All of these techniques are well and good, but there is one more trick you should have up your sleeve.
IE 8 is great for development
If you are still using IE 7 to test your websites in, stop. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to IE 8.
Google Wave and IE: enter Chrome Frame
I was curious to see what Google Wave's support for IE would be like being that they claim Wave is an HTML 5 application. When I fired it up in IE 6, 7, and 8 I got this lovely screen (see image). This was a shocker! Apparently Google has developed a plug-in for IE called Chrome Frame that actually runs Google Chrome inside of IE. There had been some effort a couple years ago towards implementing something similar to this with Mozilla/Gecko (http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm), but the work apparently got dropped.
