Sākot ar 1. marts kārtējais gads Google Apps pārtrauks sniegt atbalstu Internet Explorer 6 tīmekļa pārlūkprogrammas lietotāji, kas, neskatoties uz to, ka ir daudz pārāka par jaunākajiem IE7 si (īpaši) Ti8, vai sāncenšiem Ugunsdzēsējs, Operas, Safari un Hroms (sākot no pirmajām versijām līdz pēdējām izdotajām), tā arī turpina būt al 2-lea populārākā pārlūkprogramma pasaulē, kas attiecas uz procentuālo daļu no 20,99% no globālā tirgus.

We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

Rajen Sheth, senior manager la Google Apps a declarat ca aceasta decizie a fost luata pentru a incuraja utilizatorii Internetului sa renunte la browserele vechi, care prezinta un real risc dēļ neaizsargātība ce pot fi exploatate de hackeri, in favoarea browserelor de ultima generatie (in urma cu o luna, cativa hackeri din China au atacat peste 30 de companii IT printre care si Google, profitand de o vulnerabilitate descoperita in IE6). De asemenea, guvernele unor tari dezvoltate, cum ar fi Germenia, Australia sau Franta, au facut un apel catre utilizatorii IE6 sa renunte la folosirea acestui browser, avertizandu-i asupra riscurilor la care sunt supusi, convingand astfel cateva sute de mii dintre acestia sa foloseasca Ugunsdzēsējs pentru a naviga pe Internet.

Izmantot: Userii Internet Explorer 6 vor putea utiliza in continuare Google Apps, bet noile functii ale acestora nu vor fi disponibile iar altele, existente deja, vor inceta sa functioneze corect.
