@blowdart:
Its about 2-3 years since Microsoft stopped selling the OS Windows XP. So do you think its OK that IE8 not even can execute Javascript correct? Seems still no one get it in here, Microsoft WILL loose $ i they not upgrade IE8 to at least support basic Javascripts. All open free browsers support that + HTML5, and i promise you my company and all companys in my counrty i have contact with feels exactly the same way. MY recomendation to MY customers will be , never ever buy any Microsoft prooduct and start using free OS like Ubuntu IF they not upgrade the IE8. And thats not likely you experts in here say. Hence , ordinary people that buyed a computer 5 years ago dont think they have an old computer!
