The main issue with oerp 6 and IE that my clients have had is when opening/printing reports/documents. 

IE9 supports HTML5 very well so that should be nice from a development/compatibility perspective. 
Personally I think OpenERP should demand the latest browser from MS, Webkit and Mozilla and don't provide legacy support other than if managed by the browser it self. 

Unfortunately, for the time being, IE9 has only got a tad bit over 5% penetration. 8 is 3 times bigger, since 9 don't work on XP.
