Many of the Google Apps users received an email yesterday explaining that Google Apps will be phasing out support for many outdated browsers. For most Internet users that are already using Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above to access the Internet, this really has no implication for or to you and you can keep surfing and using Google Apps like you normally do. However, to those that have yet to upgrade their browsers from the dark ages for what ever the reason may be, this does affect you.

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.  Google Apps will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change. On March 1, 2010, they plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor.  After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, Google Apps will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

People that purchase new computers have no issues with this phase out. However, for those individuals and companies that are still in ancient times using Internet Explorer 6.0, it is time to emerge out of the dark ages. Personally, I recommend that you keep your browsers up-to-date by setting automatic updates to always install. In doing this, it will keep you on top of the game.
