Re: Drop old IE support?

I stopped supporting IE<9 last year. MSFT still owes me $millions$ for
fixing that garbage
I like the idea of a fallback theme, or better yet offer Chrome frame

I thought I read somewhere that Google was onboard w/ jQuery in dropping
support for IE 8 and below

@shad I use uploadifive now. I'm sure the author would donate to a project
this big.
BUT there is no FILE API support for Safari<5 and IE<10 you'd have to build
the iframe kludge to support older browsers.
