Work inside a large corporate and check the budgets for projects vs budget for IT maintenance. Upgrading browsers, as a project, has no board approvable ROI.

This will change when there are applications on the internet that corporates need, but can't access via IE6. See GWave for an example of how this can be resolved.

Companies aren't getting onboard the usual sharing is caring experiece that most netizens are familiar with - they usually want to pay $$ to get a product (e.g. sharepoint) that provides some level of support rather than asking the users to be smart.

It may happen, but my bet is that internal net usage changes when the baby boomers have left the workplace and been replaced by people brought up in a very technological world.
