1. Google Chrome Frame & Google Wave not supporting any version of Internet Explorer →

    No version of IE handle HTML5… right? That’s why it isn’t supported? And because all IE’s suck; obviously.

    I feel that we have crossed a line. It’s not just about the regular IE 6 complaining, it’s about companies openly stating that Internet Explorer just doesn’t cut it and that it’s time, from a financial, sanity and best-for-the-web standpoint, to demand more.

    We don’t really know the impact that Google Wave might have or the popularity it may achieve, but the main takeaway for me here is that Google is taking a stand against terrible, non-compliant software - while promoting their own browser.

    I wish the agency where I work could do the same, but the sad thing is that the majority of our clients are forced to use IE6 by their corporate IT department.  I’m shocked that a certain local high-tech company uses such obsolete software.  But hey, they specialize in processors, not websites.

    Thanks for the link, Mark.

    It’s nice to see Google take the initiative to either exclude IE users or convince them to change to a more “web-friendly” browser.
