It may not be 20% of the internet, depending on who actually uses your site/app. Check your analytics.

Point of reference, (Mibbit)

  IE6: 5.7% IE7: 11% IE8:  1%
  FX1:  <1% FX2:  3% FX3: 63%
  SF:    2% OP:   5% CH:   6%

Really cool how Chrome has overtaken Safari, Opera, and IE6 (Admittedly it's a webapp, for which Chrome is well suited).

Also Firefox does a really great job of upgrading its users to the latest version.

At the moment I support IE6, but I'll probably stop soon. It's just too much extra work for not a lot of payoff.
