message - You are using an outdated version of Internet Explorer

问题

"You are using an outdated version of Internet Explorer. For a faster, safer browsing experience Upgrade Today"

This message is obviously linked to the fact that a user is using an old version if IE (IE7 or earlier) and Microsoft believes that they should be using later version (IE8+). It also occurs if user is emulating an older browser via F12 (IE Developer Tools).

I have users report this on several unrelated sites. However what I would like to know is how come only certain sites trigger this message? (I am not a big IE user) Is it generated by the site or is it a browser feature? Is it related to the number of visits to the site?

curious

You are correct. Interesting that they are linking to a Microsoft sponsored site for the image.
