15% is way too big a number to ignore.
Maybe that's why IE is still at 15% because people are TOO accommodating to support it. The more sites that stop supporting it and also at the same time tell the user that they MUST upgrade to a newer browser then the faster IE 6 will eventually truly die. If I use IE 6 and all of my favorite websites support it then there is ZERO incentive for me to change.
