http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/08/27/introducing-compatibility-view.aspx -> This clearly says compatibility view is to force IE8 render a page like IE-7.

If you have installed IE developer toolbar ( Install and use IE developer toolbar ), you can check if the CSS is used while rendering OR run the script @ Detect Browser in compatibility mode to check which browser you're hitting.
