Just love how Google decides to drop these little bombshells on people with little warning. With other companies they will give 6 months, a year or so. Microsoft tells you up front. It is on their web site. Google, on the other hand, seems to invent policies. I know plenty of people and companies still using Office 2003. They can't wait under a couple of years? They already have the code included in Docs? So why the cut off?

I wonder how many know that Google is dropping support for IE8 for their web based apps within the next month or so. Win XP users [and there are many] are still using it. I suspect this is another ploy by Google to increase Chrome usage. Think of it. Using Gmail [for example] and IE8? Switch over to Google Chrome.
