We had a client who wouldn't upgrade because they had several key programs that would only run on IE6, one of which included their accounting software. I can only imagine how many hackers are licking their chops right now. I'm pretty sure some groups have been working on exploits for a while now, getting ready for the coming gold rush.

It's probably time to upgrade clients like that to Windows 7 Professional, and have them run their old apps in XP mode. That's the free Windows XP VM that came with Windows 7.
