No worries, there is a nice hotfix for that. You can have explorer use directX functions to draw the png and that brings transparency compability and even full png support for explorer even as old as 5.5 !
In the CSS for the image tag put
img
{
behavior: url(iepngfix.htc);
}
iepngfix can be uploaded to the site you have that you want png support for, but for small-sites you could hotlink from my server

(or download that and upload to your host)
EDIT:
Also, needs a 1x1 pixel fully transparent gif image named blank.gif to be put on the web server using the fix. If the image isn't on the web root you have to change the path in the htc script on the line:
if (typeof blankImg == 'undefined') var blankImg = 'blank.gif';
That solves the problem for ppl too lazy to get a browser that supports aformat approved and recomended as successor for gif by the WWW consortium "only" 11 years ago. Got to love those quick coders at Microsoft. Stuff from last millennium still not supported by their browser.
(And alpha mapped png still works crap, ie renders wrong gamma so colors are displayed wrong and the performance is crap, my dual core monster slows down when two png-24 images are on top of each other in explorer, but works smooth in firefox... )

If anyone want help with this fix poke me and I'll try explain better, or use google
