IE8 Google Display Issues

[Nismo]

Alright, I give up. Why is the google page different on my PC?! The google logo doesn’t have the standard back shadow it used to. The buttons are big and different color. Also the search page has a tool bar on the side in the 2nd pic (never seen that). I noticed on thanksgiving, that the google pic didn't change either. I’ve dumped my temp files and reset Advanced properties to default.

Check these 2 images:

Google is doing a redesign of its search engine and pushing the new layout out to random users.

If I pull up firefox I get the same old Google page... How would IE know to display anything different?

Is this actually a problem for you? Still pulls up the same search results...

No, but it's wierd and should not be this way.

You sure? I'm sure the developers at Google are saying it is supposed to be that way.

No, but it's wierd and should not be this way.

I'm pretty sure the designers would tell you otherwise.

Using IE6 or FF 3.5.3 it looks like the OP says it *should* (no blue buttons, no extra menu and has drop shadow on the "Google". I'm not sure, but I *think* when I boot to Win7 I get it the other way - can't check right now or I would.

It doesn't have anything to do with the operating system or browser.

It only was a cookie stored. I forgot that checkmark. Back to normal now.
