Just remove the cond-comments.

BTW: This is basic knowledge for years. A good explanation is here:
http://ovms.co/2011/06/ie-x-ua-compatible-multiple-versions-conditional-comments/
"In theory, an alternative would involve wrapping the X-UA-Compatible <meta> tag with some of IE’s proprietary conditional comments (condcoms). Unfortunately, this would present a “chicken-and-egg” problem, as the effective browser version (ie. v8 for IE8, v7 if EmulateIE7-mode) must be determined before any condcoms are evaluated: this means the X-UA-Compatible tag cannot then change the browser version (for example, to “EmulateIE7?)"

You don't need to remove conditional comments, just make sure that IE isn't set to view Intranet sites in compatibility mode by default:
1) On your keyboard, press "ALT" to make the menu bar show
2) Select "Tools", and click "Compatibility View Settings"
3) Check that "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" is not checked.
You may need to restart your browser for the change to take effect.

Well right now, the compatible tag is ignored. I think it is not the purpose of the compatible tag to be ignored by the browser.

To reproduce in internet zone:
- Go to demoshop: you see the compatibility mode button (x-ua tag broken)
- Go to microsoft.com: you see no compatibility mode button (x-ua tag working)

 Slowly for the devs:

Conditional Comments do generally NOT work with meta X-UA-Compatible-entries or other http-equivs - this has nothing to do with inter- or intranet.

"http-equiv" is technically the same like sending a document-header: It is considered BEFORE the html-document itself is parsed. But Conditional Comments NEED to be parsed to work. So either it is parsed too late and the X-UA-Compatible-meta therefore will be ignored, or the X-UA-Compatible-meta is ignored BECAUSE it is in conditional comments.

One way or the other: It will be ignored! As it is now, it has the same effect like removing this entry completely, it has no effect at all.

If you want to have an effect, you have to remove the conditional comments. There is no other way!

@marco_steinhaeuser: I apologize if this reads unfriendly, it was not meant so. But respect has to be earned. The handling of this trivial bug is a farce, considering the lack of basic knowledge, considering the simplicity of evaluating it and considering the time the Azure-template exists.

So either you accept my kind of tone in such cases, or I'm finished with any more future inputs. This acceptance includes this comment.

Sorry - I have no sympathy or understanding for that kind of behaviour.

 While we're at it, you should think about changing this to 'edge'

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

for making each IE-version use its individual newest mode (IE8 as 8, IE7 as 7).

Also, IE10 (actual beta) has to be checked for possible side-effects.

@Ray: Sympathy is not needed for professionality, this is simply about the attitude to make the best out of everything. Sometimes some external shit-rain is necessary as a fertilizer for making things growing better. Otherwise ones could sow as much as you like, there'll be not much to reap...

Conditional statements removed and changed from 'IE=9' to 'IE=Edge'.

Fix for lower versions of eShop 'base.tpl':
<!--[if IE]>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" >
<![endif]-->
Change to:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" >
