Google announced today, that beginning November 15th, Google Apps will no longer be supporting Internet Explorer 8 (or earlier versions). If you have Windows XP, you won’t be able to update Internet Explorer to the newest version and will have to use one of the available alternate Internet browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. The other option would be to upgrade XP to Windows 7 or replace the machine entirely. Below is a link to a post from the Google Apps team’s blog.
