SVG Support in IE8+

SVG would make the user interface of one of our intranet applications much more useful. My main goal is to use vectorized graphics which can be updated via asynchronous js calls and some elements could handle click/d&d events.

I know that the implementations of gecko, safari and chrome are quiet good. Now the big question is, how good is the IE8 svg implementation? What needs to be taken into account to make an SVG ui work well with IE8 (and maybe ie9)?

According to Wikipedia:

As of April 2010, Internet Explorer, up to and including IE8, the latest release, is the only current major browser not to provide native SVG support, although native support is partially available in Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview: Current IE versions require a plug-in to render SVG content. There are a number of plug-ins available to assist including: [...]

So the answer is: IE8's support is non-existent (without a plug-in or library).

I think you owe @MichaelSScherotter's answer an apology :)

IE9 (in beta right now) supports SVG. You can download it here.
