Google has implemented SVG through Flash so that anyone who has Flash installed will be able to see and interact with SVG content.
The package, called SVGWeb, consists of some javascript and an SWF (Flash) file. You simply put your SVG content in your page as you would normally would and include the JS library which will detect if the browser has native SVG support or not. If it has support, it will essentially do nothing special. If it doesn't (IE), SVGWeb will take over and use Flash.
Internet Explorer may be awful, but if it isn't forced to support SVG then it will retard the acceptance of SVG by websites. I'm impressed by what Google has been able to do in furthering the acceptance of SVG as standard.
finally..... been waiting for a long time
