The current update frequency for IE is a dramatic improvement over older versions.
The fact that you can't install IE11 on Windows 2000 is irrelevant. I can't install Safari on my Windows machine anymore either, and it's still a HTML5 browser (albeit a bad one, the last time I tried it on a Mac).
Users not installing updates isn't relevant either.
IE is a perfectly respectable HTML5 browser. It runs my HTML5 games better than Opera or Safari and has fairly comprehensive support for non-bleeding-edge features, especially if you look at 11 (coming out soon, I believe).

Obviously an update frequency of 1 year is a dramatic improvement over an update frequency of 5 years, but still is not enough. Basically it means "if a feature is not present in IE11, wait a year, or two".
