Yea, I got the email also.
Google reveals that this has been a topic of discussion for quite some time.
And that MS has been talking about this 'necessity'.
MS Spin is that...
This is necessary because IE 8 features a new layout engine with "full" CSS 2.1 and "strong" HTML 5 support, with interoperability fixes for the Document Object Model. Older versions of IE use a layout engine that does not comply fully with internet standards.
In other words.
The NEW IE8 is not broke, in fact it is more compliant than any previous version.
It's the older browsers(ie7/6 and others) that have had cludges in them allowing them to work.
Either way, sucks to be a web developer.
