Google Apps Ditches IE6

Google_apps

I use Google Apps in my office and received the below message today saying in essence,

Dear IE6,

Nice knowing you. Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

Love Google
xoxo

But what it really said was

Dear Google Apps Admin,​

We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010.  After that certain functionality within these applications may experience higher latency and may not work correctly in older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser.  We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change.

Sincerely,
The Google Apps team

But I know a Dear John letter when I see one. See ya later, IE6.
