Hi malware fighters,
IE6 won’t be any longer supported by Google (starting with some services as of now) and YouTube.
MS says it cannot stop to support the browser until the end of the XP OS lifecycle, that is in 2014.
Users that have to use IE6 at work because managers and sys admins won’t roll out IE8 or prevent their workers using a more modern browser form the bigger part of the still 10% of users that continue to use the archaic IE6 browser. Then there are also the users on Win 2000 that cannot go higher than IE6 because of the MS policy that urge them to change for another platform to have more recent browser support.
Now Google finally has drawn the line and for them IE6 is taken off of the respirator.
So on IE6 you can no longer go to your Gmail account, well your lazy sys admin at work do not mind.
