For a given site, X-UA-Compatible is your friend, per my previous reply.
But I've not had to deal with it in anger.

MS docs:
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325(v=vs.85).aspx
Chrome Frame docs:
  
http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/chrome-frame-getting-started/chrome-frame-faq

and searching for excluding certain versions, which I remembered as
being possible, suggests that MS's docs are false in places:
  
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3413629/emulate-ie7-for-ie8-but-not-for-ie9-using-x-ua-compatible
and you need to use comma-separation for the lists to work, so you would
want:
  X-UA-Compatible: IE=6, IE=8, IE=9
to skip IE7.  Seems like a horrible task to go update web-server configs
for all the sites, for each MSIE release to test if a newer release
works any better.
