Interesting. I fired up IE8 expecting to find bugs, and to my surprise, even though the page looks different (some colored text is not colored, backgrounds are a different shade, etc.), it works perfectly. I was recently bit by trying to use `document.getElementsByClassName` which didn't work in IE 8, which makes it easy for me to just slap jQuery onto a new project because as long as people use IE8 and pay for things, you're expected to support it
