That's a random test conducted by Google on a few select IP addresses. They change the look. But the same type of page is supposed to be shown on other browsers as well. Strange. Search on google.ca and see if the look is still the same. Google could have changed the look while you switched to IE. Its a small possibility, but its possible.

Oh, and it doesn't really look too ugly.

It's just Google testing out new search formats.
For some reason, they are sometimes browser specific.

I had it with Firefox beta 1 for a while, then it got switched back to normal.
