jQuery 2.X problem with IE8 - is there any work arround ?

Is their anyway I can use jQuery 2.0 and still have support for IE8 ?
 
I know jQuery 2.x does not support IE8 and below versions.
 
I got following option to work with but I really want to use jQuery 2.X.X and still want to have my web site working find in IE8.
 
<!--[if (!IE)|(gt IE 8)]><!-->
  <script src=" https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!--<![endif]-->
 
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
  <script src=" https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
 
Is their any easy way out of this? I know its microsoft but I am hope full :)
