Google Image Search Updated!


Just noticed it today. When you do an image search, results are now displayed in a clean layout. Only when you hover your mouse over an image do you see its details (name, resolution, size, format, source website). I think this looks too similar to Microsoft's Windows Live Search. Here's a screenshot:
