Isn't it really better at this point to spend the effort identifying and directly assisting developers whose apps are totally IE-dependent? Marketing to users will probably only cause them to break apps that they may really need to do their jobs (and make them hate their IT staff more).
The big players who stand to gain significantly from removing IE6 (which at this point include Microsoft itself), should be doing everything they can to encourage developers to move on, and leaving users alone. Heck, even if Microsoft offered free classes or donated development resources to help de-cruftify IE6-only apps, at this point it would be well worth their investment.
