We run a SAAS app. We recently saw IE4 in our logs. Not a single one of our customers has upgraded past IE8. IE6 is alive and well in many large companies.

IE represents 10.45%
Out of that:
IE6 .28%
IE7 2.03%
IE8 19.81%
IE9 16.57%
IE10 16.15%
IE11 45.13%Earlier quoted context omitted.

I joined a new project where IE 8 is the lowest required supported browser.
We have to support IE7 on some of our software, only dropping IE6 a year ago or so ... Other software minimum requirements is IE8, hoping to drop it by the end of this year.
The zombie certainly still continues to live on shitton of computers across the globe running unauthorized copies of Windows XP for customers who couldn't care less about official support from Microsoft as they never had it in the first place. Yeah, unfortunately.
It would be better if IE, period, was dead. Otherwise we're just switching one terribly obsolete IE for another terribly obsolete IE.
Great, now we just need to kill IE7... and 8, 9, 10, 11, ad infinitum. :-)
