re: IE6 being phased out at Google Monday, February 1, 2010 at 11:14 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by gewg_ (4444 messages posted) sekirt wrote: |googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/01/modern-browsers-for-modern-applications.html So, starting March 1, Google Docs and Google Sites will appear broken if you try accessing those using Internet Exploder 6. Other Google services will follow suit. This follows on the heels of the Chinese exploitation of Google, China via IE6 (a security flaw that M$ was aware of in August 2009). The love notes from Web developers in the comments on that page are priceless. Web developers despise ALL versions of Internet Exploder--but especially IE6. The typical discussion of this topic usually mentions corporate intranets that rely on ActiveX and the stupid individuals who specified that dog's breakfast. Slashdot has coverage, as usual. Folks think that *I* rant, but this guy takes it to a whole 'nother level: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/01/30/1315226&threshold=5#30962248 Written in response to: IE6 being phased out at Google (sekirt: Monday, February 1, 2010 at 4:35 am) There are presently no replies to this message.
