Yesterday, Google Apps team announced that it will no longer support for Internet Explorer and lower. Google will drop support after November 12.
This step will surely affect all those people using Google Apps. So people using Internet Explorer 8 or lower will not be able to use GMail, Calendar and Google Drive.
Google Apps team has announced in the blog, “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.”
Google will pull support after the launch of INternet Explorer 10 so that users will have chance to upgrade to latest browsers.
“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,” Apps Team added.
