I have an idea:
1. Find a patch to make IE correctly display .PNG's
2. Add code on your website that takes advantage of one of IE's security 
holes to install that patch on visitors' browsers.
3. Voila! Now your users can see your graphics correctly.

Turn that bug into a feature!

(Note: I originally meant this humorously, but now I am really curious 
as to whether it could be done.)
