If you've got any feedback/bugs to report, I'd be happy to hear them. My contact information in on my profile if you prefer to ping me privately. thanks! :)
We're stuck without guaranteed support for position:fixed on any IE version because we can't guarantee that the underlying page uses a modern DOCTYPE.

If you want to check for a browser version, there are some best practices around it. This should help: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/03/12/site-compatibili...
In summary, use object detection when possible, and if that does not work for you, use something similar to:
<!--[if lte IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" src="ie.css" />
<![endif]-->I can only imagine what kind of interfaces, games and applications will be possible with hardware accelerated graphics, blazing fast JavaScript and HTML5! We are in for a fun ride :-)
