Does anyone know if/when Internet Explorer will support the "border-radius" CSS attribute?

Yes! When IE9 is released in Jan 2011.

Let's say you want an even 15px on all four sides:

.myclass {
 border-style: solid;
 border-width: 2px;
 -moz-border-radius: 15px;
 -webkit-border-radius: 15px;
 border-radius: 15px;
}

IE9 will use the default border-radius, so just make sure you include that in all your styles calling a border radius. Then your site will be ready for IE9.

-moz-border-radius is for Firefox, -webkit-border-radius is for Safari and Chrome.

Furthermore: don't forget to declare your IE coding is ie9:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

Some lazy developers have <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />. If that tag exists, border-radius will never work in IE.
