Yes it does!

IE3 was the first browser to market with CSS support. However, its support
is fairly basic. It doesn't support #id selectors or @import; backgrounds
are screwy; the cascade is broken; and you can forget about floats and
positioning.

IE indeed had CSS support before the CSS1 specification was finalised,
which is partly why its support for the box model was so rubbish -- it was
based on older drafts. (It is for a similar reason that IE didn't support
the ABBR element until recently.)
