Default Google changed?

Google looks different on my PC

Search box font has gone bold and chunky, and the results page comes up with a space-wasting bar down the left side (apparently a la MS "Bing")

Gill's is still as was, and at work it is too

Anyone else getting this and, more importantly, any suggestions to get the "old Google" back?

It would appear that google now knows which country you are in.
Try Google.com it now defaults to .co.uk
IE 6.0 for Windows seems to take you back to the old google. FF 2.0 and up is compatible with the new one, Safari all versions is compatible with the new one.
New setup is much more intuitive and easier to navigate. All good sites are moving to navigation column on the left.

Getting the same on .com as .co.uk

IE6 at work so that might explain something (IE7 here)

Read somewhere that deleting all Google cookies might turn the clock back. Using Vista and IE7 can someone tell me how to do this without all cookies being deleted?

Ta!
