That is the exact reason I am waiting for WM8. As a web developer the news that Microsoft was squeezing IE6 into Windows Mobile was incredibly disheartening. IE6 was nothing short of a failure for developers and users a like and this is a huge set back for Windows Mobile in general. This means that when a developer builds a mobile site they will have to essentially create a version that works with the Apple iPhone, Google Android and Opera browsers and then a hacked together one to make up for IE6's sever lack of standards compliant rendering.
As a user you should probably never notice a difference unless the developer doesn't go through to make sure the site is IE6 compatible. As a developer I just want to hang my head and cry.
