They earned that lower score.
Really other then just habit why use IE8?
It is not the:
1. Most secure
2. Fastest
3. Not that easy to use
4. Many other reasons.
Fact is that Microsoft does not update IE as much as Firefox, Chrome, etc and they always seem to be one step behind the rest.
If Microsoft really cares they will go the same route of the others so they can really compete in the market and keep that market share up. Until then bye bye IE!!
