This came up last time. I personally do not believe the claims that tons of corporations use IE6, at least in the western world.

1.4% usage in the UK. Either there aren't actually many corporations using IE6 there, or their employees don't actually use IE6 for anything except internal sites (in which case to the rest of the world, they don't exist as IE6 users).

Couldn't come soon enough. IE8 is the new IE6 though with all the people still on Windows XP...
This is the most frustrating aspect of the article. For example, a surprisingly large proportion of international banks and corporations in the UK & Ireland still use IE6. For that reason unfortunately, I don't think it's going to die anytime soon in this part of the world at least.
