It's already happening. MS has already stated that they are making IE an auto-update item so I expect IE6 usage to drop precipitiously. IE6 is kind of a special, historical, case. New browsers have switched or will switch to an auto update system so that old versions won't hang around long.

1. I mentioned 3 years, because of atleast IE6, IE7, IE8 to be banned from the public Internet. Probably (a lot ?) more.
2. Microsoft not only added auto update, they also added a really easy switch to turn it off at businesses. It isn't the home users which are the IE6 problem.

Actually its better than I thought, IE6 usage in the US and much of Europe has fallen below 1%, the only thing propping up the total numbers is the vast number of pirated WinXP in China that doesn't get updates.
