<div class="im">OpenLayers fully supports IE7 and IE8, the latter in both compatible and native mode.<br>
<br>
This means that everything you can do in other supported browsers, you can also do in IE.<br>
<br>
IE specific bugs exist because IE is much different from other, more standards compliant browsers. The biggest difference is vector rendering - for IE we have a completely separate renderer (VML, whereas we use SVG or Canvas in other browsers).<br>
<br>
However, it is a known fact (but not specific to OpenLayers) that the JavaScript engine of IE7 and IE8 is slower than the one of other browsers. In vector rendering, you may notice that rotated graphics are much slower in IE than in other browsers. This is because of the limited native support of geometry transformations in VML.<br>
