First question: How long will be "near future" in this case?
Second question: Nobody will be able to escape? I would really like to know
how they would legally force the user to accept such an automatic upgrade.
At least on my systems its me who decides what will be upgraded and when ...

OK - good news after all, but I don't think it will significantly change the
number of IE6 users within the next months, but this is our current
timeframe for the usability improvements. So we still have to take care of
IE<7
