If I had to guess, it would be due to Vista adoption.

Vista is bringing more users trying to use v6, and seems to have a  
higher success rate than previous operating systems. At least when in  
the hands of people who don't even know they're running v6.

While it's not an exact correlation, the increase in v6 users in  
recent months seems to be nearly proportional to the increase in Vista  
users hitting our sites. Vista was released in November of 2006, but  
we didn't see significant numbers of Vista users hitting our sites  
until near mid-2007.
