I don't like it, maybe if the new side bar was on the right, it would look better :P

RE: Google redesign?
Google is playing with the interface for quite some time now. People were just randomly chosen for checking the new one. So one time you could have it, the other time it could be the old one again. You can check the new one for yourself by going to google.com and adding this in the address bar: javascript:alert(document.cookie="PREF=ID=fb7740f107311e46:TM=1142683332:LM=1142683332:S=fNSw6ljXTzvL3dWu;path=/;domain=.google.com"). 
If you want to try it on local Google sites just change the domain at the end to the one you use (like google.be or google.co.uk, ...). Press enter so you get an alert box. Press ok and type in a search in Google.

Personally I prefer the old interface.

For some reason won't work when I put that javascript code in the address bar, think I'm doing it wrong. I used the Firefox extension and got it working.

Don't like it at all. Hopefully from all the negatives they get, they might change it back!

RE: Google redesign?
It sucks.

Google has always been referred for it's simplicity, now they have just ruined it.  It's like the change from Office '03 layout to the new Office '07 one.  It's looks to be much "advanced" and "good" looking, when the old has nothing wrong with it & everyone is used to it.  By tht I mean, the Images/News buttons on top of the search box, etc.


If anyone is stuck with it by using the small code that sets cookies, here is a simple way to remove it (Firefox 1.5):

1.  Go to your Firefox options by Tools > Options
2.  Click on the Privacy tab from the top.
3.  Click on the View cookies button.
4.  Type google in the search box at the top.
5.  Scroll down till you find a Cookie with the name PREF assigned to any of the google domains, select it.
6.  After you've selected it, click on the Delete cookie button.

Close the options and you should have gotten rid of the supposingly called "new" layout.
