That concern (about all versions of IE) is making waves across Europe it seems. I saw the news on several English newspaper sites.
Its also interesting to see that in my circle of friends/acquaintances that it is becoming the norm not to use any Microsoft products at all. OS X, iPod, iPhone, open source CMS, and Adobe is all people seem to need. A friend of mine is in the venture capital arena and he sees more and more people using Keynote instead of Power Point for presentations. Walk into any coffee shop in Seattle (home turf for Microsoft) and you will notice a sea of MacBooks in use...
It really depends, I am located in China and I have about 54.37% visitors using IE, among them 59.96% is IE6, so IE6 support in my case is a must.

I only pay attention to IE6 when I need to trot out an obnoxious example of piss-poor technology that inexplicably escaped into the mainstream like a cholera epidemic. It’s such a waste of life. And many big corporations have this as their STANDARD, so when projects literally double their budget and dev-time to cater to this outdated excuse for software that was a fugly step-child even in its prime, I really feel for the people these corporations are laying off due to "budget shortcomings." I mean, c’mon... is this really what Steve Ballmer was getting all hot and bothered about?
