For me, IE6 being the "corporate standard" is just more evidence of corporate IT departments slowly slipping into irrelevancy. The last two contracts I've done have been what I (tongue-in-cheek) call guerilla contracts, where I've been building fairly big IT systems for parts of organisations that aren't IT. I think as the younger generations get more senior in business, they won't have any time at all for corporate IT managers holding them back, or for arbitrary IT policy. There's also the SAAS movement, too.
