Is IE really dead?

Its almost a nightmare for every web developer/designer comply their sites in IE during cross browser testing. I doubt any designer who havenot cursed IE while burning midnight oil and fixing the CSS/HTML to work properly in IE. Hack, Filters are there in CSS to save from the humiliation of IE but again most of the hacks got caught in CSS validator and situation get even bad if your client is adament and he is typical IE user and really dont want to migrate his browser. Oh let me clear I am stil cursing IE6 I think the later version have improved thinking the pain of designers/developer. Anyway today just shocked to see the statistics and want to just awake the developers/ designers who think IE is dead. No testing is required for IE. Who in this world use IE at this age. Its sure that their popularity has declined but IE is not dead infact its still struggling to get at the top amongst the other browsers.
