I am not one to jump at every new thing that comes out and usually wait for
a few months before upgrading. I inadvertently upgraded to IE7 when I
formatted and reinstalled WinXP and I must say I have not regretted it...
Once I had all my settings in place I found its great and that I don´t miss
IE6 at all!

The problem isn't with them not fixing the vulnerabilities found. They'll
likely patch the vulnerabilities until after IE8 comes out or sometime
thereafter. The problem is the 0-day vulnerabilities and the time in-between
said fix of 0-day vulnerability. Like I said below, vulnerabilities
typically discovered within IE6 are more severe due to its integration
within the OS.
For some folks, change isn't something they're necessarily interested in as
they're used to/accustomed to doing things a certain way. And that's fine,
as long as they're aware they're at greater risk and are accepting that
risk. Being in the security field, I usually opt for the more secure path
personally - even if that means a certain amount of change.
Just my two cents :o)
