I get the feeling that Google has a new policy to NOT support IE9/8/7, like with their Chrome experiments ( <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2812503" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2812503</a> ).<p>Check the BrowserLab results: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/S6dQP.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/S6dQP.png</a><p>I would say that there are two options:<p>* They don't test their site in IE9 (nor 8/7/6) or they don't know/care.<p>* They are actively doing this..<p>And I <i>cannot</i> believe the first..
