Google Ends IE6 Support

Google has announced that they will stop supporting the aging IE6 browser, beginning with Google Docs and Google Sites.

Google writes on their official blog:

Many other companies have already stopped supporting older browsers like Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers. We’re also going to begin phasing out our support, starting with Google Docs and Google Sites. As a result you may find that from March 1 key functionality within these products -- as well as new Docs and Sites features -- won’t work properly in older browsers.

Hopefully more companies will follow suit and eventually IE6 can be totally phased out.
