          Assigning to Tom as he's mentioned work needs to be done for IE8 compatibility before in comments to JENKINS-23779.

          Reducing priority as the software is no longer supported by the vendor, and all Windows versions still supported allow at least IE9 (with the exception of Server 2003).

          Ahhh... thanks Daniel

          Is there an official browser support matrix defined for Jenkins?

          No. It's time though.

          Internet Explorer 8 is bound to the lifecycle of the Windows version it is installed on.
          IE8 for Windows7 it's still supported by Microsoft. (Many companies are still using this version.)

          21% of users in the world (June 2014) are still using IE8

          So I think IE8 support from Jenkins would be fine.

          Right, it seems I misunderstood that part.

          OTOH check the install stats, Windows XP still exists as well... we're never getting rid of it if considering how many have installed it

          I'd have to wonder how reliable a source wikipedia is. Also, I think what counts more would be what the browser profile is of Jenkins users - I'd suspect it to be a more technical group and so instances of IE to be lower than the norm (whatever that is).
