What version of IE does IE9, IE10, and IE11 emulate respectively when Compatibility View is enabled?
What version of IE does IE9, IE10, and IE11 emulate respectively when Compatibility View is enabled? I've read that IE9 emulates IE7, but is that accurate and what about IE10 and IE11? Any Microsoft or Technet references would be great.

Also check ietab which will Render in ie 7/8/9 in chrome, Firefox or comodo dragon. Lunascape browser uses all 3 rendering engines (gecko, trident, webkit), speeding on which you ask for.

I use Chrome and the IE Tab extension, which I really like. The issue I have is that in the enterprise, we are stuck with IE. Most line-of-business apps will work flawlessly with IE9, some will work partially with IE10 and IE11. If what I have read is correct, then IE9-IE11 all emulate IE7 when Compatibility View is selected. My thought process is that if IE9 emulated IE7, then IE10 might emulate IE8, and IE11 emulate IE9, but that doesn't appear to be the case at all. I wonder what is so special about IE7?
My understanding is that compatibility mode emulates the previous ie version, but I never really thought about it - I just know it works to put all our ie browsers in comp mode for internal sites. (IT only supports ie 9/10)
