At least in the federal government in the DC area, IE6 and 7 are all but dead, basically. While there are still plenty of legacy servers running older versions, desktops are far less behind than they were even 2 years ago. I'm admittedly only speaking for a dozen agencies or so, but things are definitely better off lately than they used to be.
