As Google steamrolls ahead with its web development, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 will be left off the train. Google is implementing “faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5″ into its apps, so IE6 is done for.


The Google Apps Team has issued this notice: by March 1st, surfers still using IE6 for Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor will discover that their browser is missing “functionality,” and by the close of 2010, Google Mail and Google Calendar will abandon IE6 too.

Only the following browsers are exempt (and frankly, nothing older than these should be used anymore): “Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.”

I stopped with Internet Explorer when I discovered Firefox more than half a decade ago, and I suggest that those running Windows immediately move onto Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.
