Google 2.0?

Page shows Google.com may get makeover

Google 2.0?Google's sparse search results page is about to get a whole lot more "integrated."

Wizened Google users have long-enjoyed the search engine's relevant-only results page (albeit slightly encroached in the recent past with "sponsored links"). Things are about to change -- at least according to what some users have seen and reported in the link above. From the article:
Some Web users are reporting seeing a reformatted Google Inc. results page that has the links to specialized search pages listed in the left-hand column instead of placed horizontally across the top of the search box.

In addition, these links to the image, groups, news, Froogle and local search pages are each accompanied by a horizontal bar graph with a gray background and a green fill.
Jeepers! What's next? Banner ads?

And in case the screenshot link in the above-posted article doesn't work due to the slashdot effect, it can be viewed here.
