>> Google as of today is allowing duplicate content. <<

Yes, it is, but it slowly filters it out. I am watching a page that was indexed 8 times, and appeared in results in 8 consecutive entries. There was a mix of www and non-www entries, with and without a virtual directory path, and with several dynamic variables. Over the last 5 weeks the 8 entries have been reduced to three.

On the other hand, if you do really have separate pages with the same content, use the noindex,follow tag on the ones that you do not want listed.
