When SP3 rolled out for Windows XP, all users running IE6 were upgraded to JScript 5.7.

The following is still valid: var isMSIE = /@cc_on!@/false;

A SitePoint forum post, "Good way to detect IE6 but not IE7 using object detection?", lists some other ways to detect IE6.

Props to the following articles for helping me make sense of this: 1, 2, 3
