hi folks,
I've noticed this morning that IE 6+7 are not able to load the Google maps start page. OK, I know, download Firefox / Chrome, I'm just passing on the news in case anyone cares.
IE8 works fine.
When you try launch maps.google.co.nz (or .com) you get an error box popping up saying "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site Operation aborted" - I've seen this happen on other sites where maps have been embedded but not on Google's site itself.
I've tried it via a proxy in the UK and get the same issue, and I know the machines in question are clean.
I haven't looked into what's causing it, it seems unlikely Google would do this intentionally (against IE6, I could understand). It's been happening since this morning as far as I can tell, only reason I heard about it was because I'm the sap that got lumbered with the call
Anyone else seeing this, care to comment?
cheers,
Stu
