IE9 always runs in IE7 Compatibility mode

Question

I have a simple page in asp.net vs2008, when run in IE 9, the compatibility view button is visible, when clicked, the web page always run in IE7 compatibility mode.

Why the page does not does run in IE8, when compatibility view button is clicked? Do we even have IE8 compatibility view?

Here is the html code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.WebForm1" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text="Testing"></asp:TextBox>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

IE 9 behavior

Are you in a company? They may have forced internet explorer to run locally in compatibility view through group policy. — Erik Funkenbusch, Mar 28 '14 at 21:27
By the way, your image clearly says IE9 compatibility view, and IE7 standards mode. — Erik Funkenbusch, Mar 28 '14 at 21:28
