Nope, IE 8 will take the spot of where IE 6 is currently. It's the default browser of Windows 7 whereas one currently needs to update to IE 9. The best hope to get rid of IE 8 is the same thing that killed IE 6 for good: popularity for the recent version of Windows. If Vista didn't falter the way it did, we would have had less time on IE 6, due to adoption of Vista's preinstalled IE 7.
