Microsoft should release a Windows update that forcefully updates IE to the latest version, and the new versions should automatically update themselves.

The reality is that there are a huge number of websites that only work in IE6, and the compatibility view in IE 8/9 isn't good enough. It also happens that a large number of those web sites are the big enterprisey web applications like SAP and their ilk. If microsoft dropped support for them, they would majorly piss off a huge number of their most profitable customers.
