Winter Park, FL | Google Apps dropping support for IE8 "As we announced last year, we support the latest version of Google Chrome (which automatically updates whenever it detects that a new version of the browser is available) as well as the current and prior major release of Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on a rolling basis. Each time a new version of one of these browsers is released, we begin supporting the update and stop supporting the third-oldest version.
Internet Explorer 10 launches on 10/26/2012, and as a result, we will discontinue support for Internet Explorer 8 shortly afterwards, on 11/15/2012. After this date users accessing Google Apps services using Internet Explorer 8 will see a message recommending that they upgrade their browser."

| Between the lines:
If you are still on Windows XP, you can no longer access Google Apps with Internet Explorer. |

| They wanna cripple you if you use a older version.
Youtube is already messing stuff up for IE users.
A few things are not working on youtube, including the flag feature.

Good thing I don't (and never will) use Google Apps 
Or IE for that matter.

I forgot Internet Explorer 5.0 works with Windows 3.1!!!
I think I installed it on an old Compaq Presario with 5 -8 floppy diskettes.
That's actually amazing itself!  |

It actually "works" in my Win3.1 WfWG 3.11 (with add-on MS TCP/IP stack) VM. That said most sites don't render properly and/or have major JavaScript errors.

Well, good...
1. I'm impatiently waiting for the time, when browsers will start updating their versions couple of times per month. That will be real fun 
2. At the moment I'm browsing the Internet on WXP computer with hosts file containing:
127.0.0.1 ajax.googleapis.com
So, I guess respect (and the need for each other) is mutual

Just checked to see which version I have on the laptop - IE7. The only time I use it now is when I've printed something to a file; the file then always opens up in IE. I suppose there's a way to change the default opening program for .xps files, but I haven't bothered. |
