We have a long consistent issue as a provider of interactive web systems from our normal site right through this forum to our specific applications built for our customers.
The community do not support ongoing old systems. So we constantly hear how it does not display properly etc. This may be the case and I did come accross a genuine complaint that resulted from a mistake I made recently. No one is perfect and we need to hear about things that do not work but below is google's take on support for those users who wont update and blame the sites rather than their local computer software.
Google also could not get microsoft modern browsers to work with some of their stuff so they developed google chrome frame which will enhance your experience within IE. Microsoft IE still does not conform to the modern web standards laid down by the industry.

Dear Google Apps admin,
In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.
We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.
Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.
Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser. We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change.
In 2009, the Google Apps team delivered more than 100 improvements to enhance your product experience. We are aiming to beat that in 2010 and continue to deliver the best and most innovative collaboration products for businesses.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
The Google Apps team
