A colleague of mine has just received a Windows 7 tablet, that hopefully I'll get to play with soon. So that obviously could run IE9/10.
Do you care about IE8? Everything I'm doing is HTML5, which means IE8 is out of the question anyway. And then addEventListener works perfectly well in IE9.

Much as I love The Guardian, main reason for asking is I have set up some javascript to also run drag and drop on tablets. Hopefully, it doesn't matter as I assume tablets don't use IE anyway. Or do they?
if (document.addEventListener) addEventListener("touchstart", touchHandler, true);
do I need an else attachEvent here??? Hmm.

Developer tools in IE10 reports The Guardian site as in "Document Mode: IE8 Standards" - I assume that's something that happens automatically based on the content.
The site works fine for me though.

Anyone else finding things like this with IE9?
