Reseller,
Having looked at these dc's in some detail, I have to disagree with you (tho glad you're making a comback!).
Because of major changes to a site I have in the OCT-FEB period, I can pinpoint the vintage of the index quite easily (and confirm the site specific results with others I am familiar with). What I see on these dc's is an index made up of ancient results (circa AUG 2005) with some additions from FEB or so.
If this truly is the result of the carnage of the switch to BD then Google has accomplished nothing in the FEB-15 to current timeframe.
If as you say, Google knows exactly what they're doing, what they are apparently trying to achieve is to augment the AUG-05 index with a few new pages. If you mean Google intended to "break down" the entire index and rebuild it "live" - unlike in the past where more or less finished updates rolled onto all dc's over a 5-7 day period - then I might agree. What I can't see is the reseller frindly ® dc's being anything but yet another interim step. The difference is, I see the process as scambling to try and fix an unanticipated scru-up, you see it as an deliberate plan.
Either way, I'm counting the days until Microsoft rolls out their new product as Google is ripe for the taking ... takes awhile for the public to turn against a SE but there certianly is precedent (remember when you couldn't turn on your TV without seeing ads for Lycos?).
From a webmaster point of view, the ideal world is MSN, Google, Yahoo with 30% market share each.

I watch a site which has shown this morning increase in its indexed pages on:
[64.233.185.104...]
how about your sites?
Thanks
Nope
I watch a site which has shown this morning increase in its indexed pages on:[64.233.185.104<...]
50,300 on this one
60,300 on default 66.249.93.104 and most others
For a site I watch (not mine)
[64.233.185.104...] 2,260,000
while on your default google
[66.249.93.104...] 978,000
So the conclusion mightbe; different DCs showing different results for different sites ;-)
I honestly think that different DC's show different results for different sites, BUT more importantly, the SERP's are not static in any way.
I have one keyphrase I watch,and over the last 10 days, it went from 14 to 4, and yesterday back to 14. The total results for that phrase varies between 240 million and 160 million, and thats on the same DC! - So stability is not a current word that I would use for any DC, and don't expect to see for some time to come :-)
Regardless of that, I also believe that TBPR is NOT showing real past values, but will do sometime soon.

Agreed. And here is something which might hint to the reason:

Anyone who knows about Google knows that different data centers get different data at different times, especially during Bigdaddy.
I beat 3 other domains there are using keywords in the url like www.keyword.#*$!
1. is 6.580.000
2. is 220.000
3. is 135.000
First time I registered the change was 3 days ago on DC 64.233.187.99 + 64.233.187.104
Are 64.233.187.99 + 64.233.187.104 Bigdaddy for now?
Best to you all
Good morning Folks
We know that the Everflux describes an everchanging condition of the serps on Google datacenters. Today I'm introducing a new term .. EmmyFlux!
EmmyFlux describes the condition of Google datacenters where specially top 5 sites on the serps are everchanging.
Thats exactly what I see today on most if not all DCs.
Wish you all a great day.
Normally, I consider positive movement being 1 or 2 positions over a six month period, daily movement is flux, an as such, fairly irrelevant.
So the theory is?
