Crocodoc allows IE6 users to download either the original file, or a PDF version containing any comments and markups that have been added to it so far.

All other versions of IE work fine (and IE9 actually looks amazing due to its updated font rendering engine).

As Ryan pointed out the HTML5 document viewer works in IE 7,8, and 9 plus of course Chrome, Safari and Firefox. This covers 94% of Yammer's daily active users, the remaining 6% of IE 6 users are given the option to download the original or marked up file.
