Fine with that. IE8 is EOL next month with the death of XP. Vista+ will take newer browsers.
Vista is stuck on IE9 but after that its IE11 for all.
Internet Explorer 8 shipped with Windows 7 too so it should be supported until January 2015 (2020 for the extended support). It can be an issue for corporate applications.
Am I missing something? This is a post from Dec 2013. 1.2.14 still looks to be the current version of Angular. There was a commit today on Angular's GH removing IE8 from their test configuration which implies that 1.3 is going to be around really soon, but there doesn't seem to be a release build at this stage.
TL;DR: wrong title?
This confused me for a while as well. If this is old news, why is it here? I thought it was news.
