As more and more websites give third-rate support to IE6 users (easy to do now, given the vast amount of highly unfun effort you need to pour into it, usually seriously impinging on your web stack's maintainability and flexibility to do it), there's an actual reason for the office junkies being told from up on high that IE6 is the only option, to rebel and put in serious complaints, instead of bitching about it at the watercooler.
I believe IE6 is the only IE that can run on NT, and there are always bass ackward companies around (though in this economic climate, they go bankrupt. Which is in some ways good, come to think of it), though at this rate I fully expect IE6 to be a memory soon. Think back to the netscape 4 days. People dropped support for that in a heartbeat once it was obvious its user base was on the rapid downturn. Man, I love it when I can cheer myself up like this. Oh happy day!
