Normalize v2.0.1 - optimized for modern browsers (opens in new tab)

The test page still exists, but isn't currently surfaced on the project page - http://necolas.github.com/normalize.css/2.0.1/test.html. Thanks!

Maybe not everybody, but it’s a reasonable default. IE8 has been out for more than three years, and works on Windows versions as far back as XP, which in turn has been out for more than a decade and is nearing the end of support from Microsoft.

There is accommodating customers, usually large organisations, who for whatever reason have chosen stability in their system software. And then there is not taking advantage of new technologies that almost everyone in most markets can use, and that almost everyone else could upgrade to if they needed to, just to support a tiny and shrinking minority.

If you don't need to support legacy browsers, then you can use 2.x.

If you still need legacy browser support, then use 1.x.

Personally I already have - I'm still supporting IE8, because there's no upgrade path from that if you're still on Windows XP, but there's really no reason to be stuck on IE7 these days. (If your workplace has any legacy apps with weird requirements, it's more likely you'll be stuck on IE6 than 7)

In certain segments: yes. If you're doing something aimed at developers or gamers, supporting IE (any version) isn't all that necessary.

I "dropped" IE8 support in 2010: http://impactjs.com/
