I have read that Internet Explorer is the least friendly browser to use because most of its previous versions do not support HTML5 or CSS3. When using the validator, what version of IE should you tell the validator to go back and check compatibility with to ensure a constant user experience? And at what point should a programmer/designer stop worrying about versions such as IE7 or IE8?
