Go to a website with embedded google maps with IE. Guess what? Markers are gone and map is static (no zoom or scroll). Screw ‘em both.

Perhaps both sides are right and Microsoft realizing the heuristic signatures Google gave off decided to “Oops, I did it again.”

From either angle it makes sense. But we’ll never really know.

It has a built in keylogger (at least for the address bar) that sends the data back to google without awareness or consent (or at least hiding the fact through a lengthy license agreement about 3 people read). So it was marked correctly.
