We still have IE8 users here at work ATM (always behind). I still vote don't bother supporting it. There is always the flash player for it for IE8 users. IE9 is the first version that starts supporting newer standards and it's not until IE10 that it can start supporting HTML5 elements consistently. Let's not cripple ourselves to keep supporting IE8.

I've got a decent start on the ActionScript version. I want to use SVG for the JavaScript version. From what I can tell, SVG is not supported at all on IE8. It seems that anyone who really wants to run on IE8 substitutes a bitmap for the SVG when they detect an IE8 browser. I'd like to get the community's opinion on this. Should we bother to try to support IE8 (and any other browser that doesn't support SVG)? I do understand that there are levels of SVG support; I am hoping basic SVG line drawing and color-fill are common across modern browsers. Thanks, Peter Ent Adobe Systems
