Google Apps update | HTML5 needed
In order for Google’s web applications to move forward with new features such as desktop notifications for Gmail and drag-and-drop file uploading in Google Docs, HTML5 is needed. Older browsers don’t support HTML5 so modern browsers will be integral for a “high-quality experience”.
As browsers progress, Google Apps will stop supporting the third-oldest version and automatically update for the newest – as of August 1st when the HTML 5 update is implemented; Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer 7, and Safari 3 may experience problems using these apps and eventually stop working entirely.
