The source for this story puts IE6 at 10-12% in North America and Europe and 20-35% in South America, Africa, and Asia.

Whether or not IE6 support is still necessary depends on who your target audience is. Are you targeting a young and tech-savvy crowd? Then drop it. But if you're working on a project intended to be used by non-profits and government agencies (as I am right now) then it's unfortunately still necessary.

Our target audience is primarily NGOs and organisations working with poverty in developing countries. IE 6 last month was 17%. IE(5/6/7/8) was 40% and Firefox/Netscape total was 34%.

I know the problem of such a large share of IE6 in China is basically due to millions of pirated WinXP ...
