You should develop for IE6 if the userbase is hight. However there is a rumour that IE7 is shipping out as a automatic update at the end of the month and it will not be an automatic install (if it has not been yet).

However IE6 will start to dwindle down pretty fast in the next year. This being IE7 being forced and IE8 is now in public beta.

The rule of thumb is that you stop supporting browsers 2x versions and below. Expect Microsoft to give IE8 a huge push when out of Beta.

So in a nutshell yes you should develop for IE6 as it holds a the market at the moment but expect that to drop this year.
