i dont understand why developers have to keep in mind versions of internet explorer prior to version 9?
i dont have the slightest clue how to make my own website, but if i were to, i will just implement a line of code that, when detects IE 6/7/8 it displays a message that suggests downloading a different browser or upgrading to IE 9 and if the user doesnt do that, he wont be able to use the website … simple as that
if google search and bing force IE 9 as the oldest version allowed, this will reduce IE 6, 7 and 8 usage drastically
