Content compression & IE6

The problem is javascript files (which are loaded in a page through ScriptResource.axd) are not compressed with gzip for IE 6. But everything works fine with IE7. The reason is ScriptResourceHandler.IsCompressionEnabled() function, which prohibites gzip encoding for IE 6 and below.

But why?? What's the reason?? 90% of my clients use IE6 and I don't want they load a 120Kb MicrosoftAjax.js.

How to workaround this problem?

None of developers know the answer?
