Google Dropping IE 6 Support

Story here

Google Apps will no longer support Internet Explorer 6, as well as older versions of other browser offerings. What does this mean to you? Mainly it mean, if you are still using something this old, it’s time to upgrade. With all the offerings today, there is a browser for everyone: IE, Safari, Firefox, Opera and Chrome round out the big guns.

Some have speculated this move has been prompted by Google China’s recent network compromise which may have been partially due to older browser support / usage. Even if that is not the case, it’s still a good move, IE 6 is old and weak and full of holes – time to retire.
