I spent two summers interning at a giant insurance company (no self-installed software was allowed anywhere on the network). In 2008, everyone in the entire company was forced to use IE6. In 2009, they had transitioned to IE7 and developers company-wide were preparing their webapps for a rollout of IE8. Sure, everyone was still on XP, but even the higher-ups had begun to realize how important it was to update the browser.
