Microsoft have to support those corporate users. In fact, IE6 would have been EOLed a couple of years ago were it not for such corporations, who dictate MS's product strategies far more than the requirements of home users. (Source: conversation with former product manager for IE, who left Microsoft for Google after fifteen years because of this.)
So if MS are openly celebrating, it must mean they've got most of their US corporate clients moved over.
IE6 gets EOLed when XP is later this year anyway. If you know of any big corporations that don't yet have their XP exit strategy in place, I suggest shorting them now, as they'll be left with unsecurable systems in a few months.
Extended support ends for XP in April 2014 so you will have some pain from IE6 users for sometime yet
