From what i know, yes.
thanks guys.
The Thread is already 3 months old – things changes fast. As far as I know only the latest and the previous version of IE has to be supported and are required. That means IE10 & IE9.

. It really hamper design, and it’s the #1 reason I haven’t moved to HTML5 / CSS3 fully, rather sticking to jQuery.
6.4% of the 14.3% of people using IE use IE8, so that’s just under half

Well, you’re not doing anything for it to go away.
On the contrary, by sticking to jQuery instead of using CSS3, you “encourage” people to still use it, by trying to have the same eye-candy in IE as in modern browsers. (if I correctly understood your reason for using jQuery)
What I always do is use CSS3 whenever possible for aesthetics, as long as functionality/layout isn’t impacted doesn’t break in older browsers. IE users still get a decent site, just not with all the awesomeness of CSS3

I had a IE8 bug in one of my files and people complain about that. It needs to be supported as long people use it.
