The simple answer is XP mode is really a home consumer solution and not an enterprise one and one Microsoft ditched in Windows 8. MED-V is the enterprise version of XP Mode. If I were you: I would build a Server 2003 box, leave IE 6 installed and just make icons to each web site that requires IE6 in C:\documents and settings\all users\desktop. Then put that icon to the TS server on the desktop of the PC in C:\users\public\desktop. Viola: IE6 for everyone!
A 5 user TS CAL roughly goes for $500, give or take. You'll want to talk to someone like SoftwareOne that specializes in software licensing to get the right stuff.

You would have to test to see if you can run IE 6 in XP mode. You would have to find a source for IE 6. XP came with IE 6 originally, but I recall that SP3 forced a more advanced version of IE and XP Mode uses SP3.
You should be able to get a copy of Windows 98 on eBay. Windows 98 does run IE 6 and runs in VMware Workstation (or Player) on a Windows 7 or Windows 8 host machine. I have this running.
This is an alternative solution to your problem.
IE 6 is truly dead and you should move on.

But honestly, it's time to upgrade the software that runs on IE6.
