It's all the horribly written IE 6 specific web applications that all these corporations paid lots of money for. At least, that's the way it is in HP. Ironically, they started shipping out new corporate PCs with Vista on them when there were still applications on the intranet that wouldn't work in anything but IE 6. (And that's all I'm going to say about HP IT, because if you don't have anything nice to say...)
I know Deloitte Consulting held off on Vista upgrades for over a year because Documentum eRoom used some crappy ActiveX control that only worked in IE6.

One solution here is to charge additional money for users who have an IE6 user agent if you're selling a product/subscription/service on your website. Why? Because if IE6 is used prominently by big mega-corps, they can afford the extra $$$ for your product.
