The only one that could give us proper number (well more accurate ones) is Microsoft itself as they must be able to track how many download of each version they had and how many version of windows have been send out. Even that wouldn't be that accurate due to cracked copies around the world.
I haven't met anyone using IE for quite a while now, people these days actually know about computers these days and they often go for Firefox (from what I can see from my entourage only of course) By work experience I found that most users that still use IE6 are companies and their employees, mostly because their IT department is inadequate or non-existant which result in windows update not even being on automatic or used. Also many employees wish they could upgrade to IE7 or even Firefox but like most companies will have policy and permissions set in a way where the employee can not install or upgrade anything themselves.
