Google is planning to stop supporting older browsers, such as Internet Explorer 6. Over the course of 2010, Google will update it’s Google Apps suite to HTML5, meaning older browsers such as IE6 will be unable to support the new standard. Google will start by updating Google Docs from March 1, 2010. Other apps, such as Mail and Calendar, will be converted later in the year. Those using older browsers are advised to upgrade, and will get a message when they use the Google Apps later in the year.

>> Google Apps admins should have received an email, no word yet on wether this affects normal Google Accounts.

Recently we posted about the change with google layouts, I suspected there might be something more. It looks like Google’s doing some tweaking. The search box on the front page has been made bigger. I don’t like it - just make it an option Google! We suspect a greasemonkey script has already been written.
