As is frequently the case, it's more complicated than that. :-) StatCounter may say less than 5% in the U.S., Europe, the UK, and such, but they still put it at 9.75% globally (and a whopping 20% in Asia). Net Applications gives us a higher global figure (which makes sense, they have more corporate customers than StatCounter and corporations are a big part of the IE6 longevity).
