title: Is the scope of Responsive Design worth considering for IE8 as of 2013?
body: <p>I still see questions here that pertain to making responsive design work for IE8, or god forbid, IE7.</p>
  
  <p>For lack of knowledge of Windows related devices, my immediate thought is that, it would not be worth implementing responsive design for IE8 due to the insignificant amount of mobile devices that would still run IE8 today. And just leave sites as static 1024x768 for this particular browser, as there is little to no reason for responsive design, with the extra painful efforts it requires and the limitation of media query polyfills, if over 95% of the remaining browser share of IE8 is only run on desktops with a safely assumed 1024+ screen width.</p>
  
  <p>If the volume is still relevant, which mobile platform still use IE8 browsers, that would necessitate or justify a responsive design approach for them. Please share useful relevant links.</p>
  
  <p>PS: The context is only using standard mode, excluding using IE in compatibility view or quirk mode.</p>
