Seriously though, LOR will look shit in IE8 if you don't "detour" IE8 users. You get two buttons at the top, neither of which works, then it dumps the entire menu on the screen, one column, font size about 4. Annoyingly, the one bit of your code that does work is the bit that makes the button hover, so you get a non working button following you down the page. It really does look like a page designed by a 5 year old after their first lesson at HTML. 99.9% of surfers won't know that the reason for this is because their browser is old, and will simply assume you are incompetent. Sadly there is that Twitter thing nowadays, and a couple of pissed of surfers with bugs up their asses combined with a few re-tweets of "LOR is shit" posts could kill your reputation and kill LOR.
Also, I'm told (but have been given no proof) that if your site is not IE8 compatible and does not redirect IE8 surfers to a warning page, Google assume it is badly designed overall and really drop your ranking.
All this shit, just to make Bill Gates richer, is it worth it?
