do google know yet?

It takes several months before the effect of any links filter though to your own website.
My web design site jumped from having a page rank of 0 to 3 overnight. I am expecting something similar with my other sites.

You should generally get PR3 on any site with only a few good links.

PR4 is not too hard...5 is starting to push the link building... 6 is a beast....7 you are really onto something great with about 50,000 incoming links

pr8 you are GOD....

9 and 10 you own Google or Yahoo.

What will thye update mean for the most of us?

more people could find you in google searches if your PR goes up.

(provided you also have an optimised website, you can't go up if you were 'unfindable' in the first place)

I think you might get a few people who disagree with that comment.

As far as I am aware, search results have very little to do with PR.

Yep, I'm one. PR has a bearing on rankings but not in the obvious way that it used to, like everything else, Google has found PR being abused because it can be bought so easily. You can have a low PR site (3-4) get page 1 rankings whilst a PR6 site can't. It's finding the right balance, understanding why you're competitors are on page 1, then doing what is required on the site to catch similar rankings.

And the PR displayed on things like the GoogleBar is only a VERY rough indication of the internal algorthm that Google actually use to rate sites.
