Google/IE UI horror

You really need to click the image for a fullsized view to see what is weird here.

Note the combo box at the top. See, it has a normal Windows combo box control.

Now, see the combo box on the Google search bar. Note that it is a different type of control; I think it may be a .NET refugee.

Ugh, ugh, ugh. Is UI consistency within a single app too much to ask?
