They’re apologizing for the wrong thing! IE6 was one of the best browsers – when it came out. Seriously – remember Netscape 4, and no Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.
The _real_ problem was that it took what, 7 years, to release an update. That is what they should apologize for.
Imagine what it, and the web, would look like if IE had been updated two or three times between IE6 and IE7. IE9 might be IE14, and it would have full CSS3 support, be more secure, blah, blah, blah.
My fear is that by apologizing for the wrong thing, they may go 3 or 4 years between IE9 and IE10, or some other future version….

Dead on.
Good stuff, Walt. Seriously.
