New Google SERP

Has anyone seen the new look?

It started this afternoon. The SERP is now in 3 columns with 1 column being a huge empty space to the left now that only has the different search options that are normally on the top such as for images and books and such. The number of results are on the bottom now and not the top. I only see these changes with IE7 using Vista x64 though.

I just noticed that the date is 2006 also.

Anyone else?

OK. It changed on me again and I guess I'm the only one seeing it :-/

Their new page now has the following down the left hand side when I did a search for Porsche:

Search for porsche:
Images
Maps
News
Groups
Froogle
more »

Refine porsche:
Reviews
User reviews
Photos

The links stay within Google and you get exactly what the text says. I clicked on 'Photos' and it changed my search to 'porsche more:auto_images' and gave me a bunch of listings of sites with...you guessed it...Porsche photos.

Am I crazy? No one else sees this?

I get a crazy data center every once in a while. I get results that don't match any of the known data centers. When I ask around nobody I know can get repeat the result I get. I get the same results for a few days and it clears up.

Hmm. Usually I see the same thing no matter what browser I use but this time it is just happening in IE7 on Vista x64. I tried from a dozen different machines across the US using different browsers and OS and I only see it on the Vista x64 machine. Coincidence I suppose.
