Joy!!! – Google phases out support for IE6

According to the BBC website, Google have started to phase out support for Microslow Internet Explorer 6 despite Microslow supporting it until 2014.

Here’s a snippet from the BBC:

Google has begun to phase out support for Internet Explorer 6, the browser identified as the weak link in a cyber attack on the search engine.

The firm said from 1 March some of its services, such as Google Docs, would not work “properly” with the browser.

It recommended individuals and firms upgrade “as soon as possible”.

Google threatened to withdraw from the Chinese market following the “sophisticated and targeted” attacks, which it said originated in China.

Hackers used a flaw in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) browser to target the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists.

Now what about Windbloze Internet Explorer 7, because 8 is out now and I don’t believe it’s long until IE9 is out.
