The problem with getting rid of IE6 is too many internal applications
especially in the business community will only work in IE6, like the
internal application we use. There is no budget to make the updates and I'm
sure they are massive.

So, who's the rocket scientist that decided it would be a good idea to write
applications with ONE and ONLY ONE viable program to run those programs?
Writing a stand-alone program is one thing... writing a web application for
use in a browser and targeting the worst browser possible isn't exactly a
smart move. But then again I guess we ARE talking about "big business"
aren't we? No brain trusts there...
We're talking about corporations who bought the MS "vision" that IE was
the only browser that mattered (and there was a time not too long ago
when that was very true, especially in the business world). And don't
necessarily have the financial and personnel resources to make complex
changes to large software systems.
Besides, it's as rude to turn a way customers who use IE6 as it would be
to turn someone away from the door of a brick-and-mortar store because
they wore a blue shirt instead of a green one. ;-)
