This is how I feel:

Wow, that's horrible. Is there some security setting that's off by default that prevents CSS or Javascript or HTML5 or something...? How could it be so bad?

The menu looking like that def has to do with some of the css either not loading or being ignored, as the menus are pure css and don't rely on any javascript for their look/functionality.

If I'm reading the charts here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(Cascading_Style_Sheets) correctly, IE doesn't even support css2 properties like margin and visibility, which I use extensively, until IE 9.

Nice! Should we then have a pop up that prevents them from using IE 8 and lower?

That seems like the best solution to me.
