Google has announced that they are no longer going to fully support Internet Explorer 8 with their Google Apps platform from mid of November this year.

The company said:

Internet Explorer 10 launches on 10/26/2012, and as a result, we will discontinue support for Internet Explorer 8 shortly afterwards, on 11/15/2012. After this date users accessing Google Apps services using Internet Explorer 8 will see a message recommending that they upgrade their browser.

Internet Explorer 10 would only be available to users of Windows 7 and Windows 8. Internet Explorer 9 is already available to users of Windows Vista and Windows 7.
