IE6/7 won't run on Windows 2000, and many businesses are still stuck there. IE allows administrators to setup options and security from a centralized location, which is vital to many organizations. IE has ActiveX - a nightmare on the general web but very useful internally for many businesses. In the end, continuing to use IE6 costs very little, while moving to a new browser may cost a considerable amount of money (upgrading OS's, re-building webapps and processes to not use ActiveX, finding some way to centrally control browser installations, etc). Only when keeping IE6 becomes more painful than upgrading will these last hold-outs change. I suspect that time is coming soon...
