IE does not support transparent PNG (yet, supposedly IE7 will). Unfortunately this is one of the most contested, and angrily sought after features that MS failed to add to IE to date, and may be one of the reasons PNG has not become the defacto image format of the internet yet (replacing JPG and GIF).

For more information you should read these articles, as they cover it in great detail. From these you might begin to see why so many people consider the IE browser(despite being the most prominent) to be the worst browser in terms of compatibility and standards compliance:

Also go here, and scroll down to "Internet Explorer" in the list of supported browsers. This page is the official home of the PNG image format.
