IE 8 apparently still the CO2 of the internet

So the reports of real world testing of IE8 are starting to come in and they are not good. Looks like many features are still missing that the greater web community would like to be using, but cannot because IE does not support them. To add insult to injury they broke many of the hacks to get around the fact.

There is a slight glimmer of hope with rumors of IE switching to WebKit in the near future. That would be a great benefit to the web. Though I am not sure even WebKit can survive Microsofts obsession with reverse compatibility.
