No.

No.

And No.

The reason they still use IE6 is because:
- They don't know how to update
- They have updates disabled
- Their OS is pirated, and they can't update
- They just don't care

Basically, no-one is going to update just to view your site. It will look like trash when they open it, so they'll go straight to the back button. You would be delusion to think they'll go "hey, I'll update to IE7 to view this site".


Yes, you should. Because there are currently about 25% users use it.
Exactly. If you are going to throw away 25% of your earnings for no real reason (IE6 isn't even hard to be compatible with), you have to question why the hell you are even in business anyway.
