HTML Data URIs Browser Compatibility

Question

I was wondering what the browser support is for Data URIs? More specifically what version of IE does this begin to be supported in?

Also is there a difference between using them in a stylesheet as a BG image or in an img tag?

Cheers!

According to caniuse Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, mobile browsers, and IE8+ support Data URIs.
