I guess for some tech/securiy websites, it makes sense, but for the whole wide web? I think it's way too much. I guess it can be useful, but I don't think it's the website's job to do it. I wouldn't want someone to stop me in the street to remind me I forgot the milk... It can be helpful, but it's somewhat private information. Well, it's not technically private, but if your website doesn't have to know and use this information, it should definitely not show it. Especially if it's gonna be yet another "box" on your blog.

Maybe would put it just on one trouble shooting page to refer people to when they need help.... actually - i kind of like the idea. i work for a library and this could really help in trouble shooting problems of our low tech customers since some of our online services have known problem with older browsers - but customers don’t always know what browser they are using or how to upgrade.

It is always up to date anyhow, but if it was not I would be pretty annoyed getting constant reminders by sites... especially if for a certain reason I did not want to update. Nope I have not seen it, but already I do not like it. no matter how discreet it is. The last thing I want is web sites I visit telling me to update my browser.
