Of course it helps, only there is a bit of a lag. How many 'enterprise markets' run <IE9 nowadays?

  Pharma industry, labs with XP machines doing robot automation with IE 8 installed.

    But who needs to access your web app from a dedicated special purpose lab equipment control workstation?

  I know of eight products, compulsory for school's to use, such as OnDemand [0], put out by the Australian government, that only run under IE7/8. (Though the published specs say it runs on IE9+ for admin, and IE10+ for students, but I've never got admin to run under anything but IE7, and students on anything more than IE8.) I'd imagine that enterprises are still running many products with similar insane requirements, because they never get updates.

    Have you tried IE11 Enterprise (IE8) mode? https://www.howtogeek.com/184634/how-to-enable-and-use-internet-explorer-11s-enterprise-mode/ https://www.howtogeek.com/184634/how-to-enable-and-use-inter...

      Unfortunately there are some minute differences in the way headers get passed to the server, and the user-agent string is slightly different as well. Badly made software doesn't play ball. Though it is theoretically possible to force it to work under IE8 mode, its simpler to supply real IE8 over a remote login.
