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.

Those using older browsers are advised to upgrade, and will get a message when they use the Google Apps later in the year.
