Fun With IE8 & Maps

After posting about IE8 breaking suckerfish, I kept trying some of my sites and luckily one of them had a Google Map. I don’t know what this is, css, javascript or god knows what, but I decided to take a screen shot of the actual Google Maps page for everyone to enjoy IE8 at it’s best:

I then decided to search and found that some people had alreqdy realized this nightmare and was actually pointed to some other issues like MSN own Live Search Maps:

& Mapquest:

And I didn’t even get to the Ask.com map since the Ask.com website displays like this:

and the map link doesn’t work. Can anyone smell a lawsuit coming?

Ps: I know this is still a Beta Version, but if they already passed the Acid2 Test, then why is everything else so screwed up? And, once everything else is fixed, will they still pass the Acid2 Test?
