I'm not sure IE9 is such a huge win. This already supports IE10, and every Windows 7 computer will be auto-updated to IE10 (if Microsoft holds to it's decision to automatically update from now on).

XP users will never get IE9 or IE10, and IE8 can't be supported unfortunately. So I guess Chrome Frame will be necessary to target IE8 users.

IE9 support lands today, and we've decided against supporting earlier versions of IE - too much headache and code bloat/hackishness to justify addressing the ever shrinking < IE9 user base.
