Why won't LESS work on IE8?

I have been playing for some time, but I can’t LESS work in IE 8!
I made a very simple page to check it out.

Here is the HTML ...

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet/less" href="css/v1.less"> <script src="js/jquery.js"></script> <script src="js/less.js"></script> </head> <body>hello world!</body> </html>

Here is ME ...

 @base_colour:red; body { background:@base_colour; }

This works with Firefox, but not on IE 8.

jQuery works fine since I tested changing the background with $('body').css() and it worked in IE 8 without any problems.

I tried adding type="text/css" tags to link tags and reverting to old school documents, but that doesn't matter.
Any pointers?

On lesscss.org in the chapter section you can read

LESS runs both on the server side (with Node.js and Rhino) and on the client side (only for modern browsers).

I think IE8 is not a modern browser .;)

Here is some interesting information: http://starikovs.com/2012/11/27/does-less-js-support-ie-9-at-least/

The author of LESS says:

IE9 is not officially supported - it may or may not work.
