That's one nice thing about the other browsers. Most users are on very similar versions. IE, on the other hand, have users spread out across many old versions.
It will be time to celebrate when they can get most of their users on the newest IE. I can't wait for that day.
Some 60% [2] of the market share is Windows XP. IE 6 - 8 are going to be with us for some time.

I wonder if MS is contemplating releasing a non-video accelerated version of IE9.
Yes, but there are plenty of other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome that work in XP. Unless you're talking about accessing sites that will work only in IE.

People have several options: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and, IE8.
All of these are free, so I think we're almost to the point where people can be nudged off of IE6.
