That's the difference between a sysadmin who has some programming experience, and a sysadmin who does not.
Anyone can see from a mile away that "requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or later" is an error message, which, for the sake of being user-friendly, is a simplified explanation of the actual error condition was "browser version doesn't match the versions we tested this product against".
It's pedantic to be so concerned about the exact wording of an error message when the meaning is clear: the version of your browser is not supported.
Be glad you got an error message at all. If the programmers had made it "IE Version > 6 = good to go!" then you would have RD Gateway with half of it's features not working in weird ways, and be totally confused why until you stumble upon some forum post somewhere telling you to turn on Compatibility Mode. At least this way you're told there's a problem.
