I've seen data that has Firefox users up at 47% while IE6 languishes at a mere 11%. Its always going to be different, depending on your audience. However 23% for IE6 doesn't surprise me. If these figures were out in October, Windows 7 certainly wasn't being publicised enough (if at all depending on which end of the month these figures were from) for a majority of MS users to have switched. Vista has had a bad reputation since it came out - so people have stuck to Windows XP, where IE6 is installed, unless you care about browser preference and know how to switch to a different one, users stay with what they're given.
