The biggest problem is the fact that if they don't have it be the

even a lot of your own sites. Beyond that (since they could just make it
ignore those types of hacks which wouldn't be difficult), is pages even
older, and especially those web-based applications that relied on those
hacks.
It's the lesser of two evils, but it's still a huge pain.
If you have a web-based application that will break in IE8, then whats
so wrong with adding an HTTP header or a meta tag to say 'use IE7' ?
