Have you tried IE10?

Nope I don't plan to go for Windows 8 unless there is any gaming benifits (IE xbox compatiblity or better performances in current games)
I don't like the Metro UI at all, and my little start button is a must for me.

Don't tell me IE10 is worse please don't lol

Apparently IE10 is "fine" but that's coming form the perspective of an IE user. It's all chrome for me

that is a bad move. Many work environments are still stuck on IE7 (or even IE6).
I would just find another site to buy from.

IE is getting much better, but they are still way behind the curve of other major browsers in compliance.

I read this the day we had a big talk about how Microsoft Internet Explorer is funded and programmed by a team that developped such a great OS as Windows 7 and hell even IE9 stil have issue with most part of our codes.
We hate IE here but sad part is that 60% of our users are using IE.

IE is the least HTML5 standard compliant major browser, as far as I know.
