The backlink update has begun. I don't yet see any PR update happening, but that may coming soon.
I need to check my ColdFusion Calendar because I think Christmas is coming soon! ;)

Thanks so much for the news Donna! I've been waiting for this one big time. My backlinks went from 100 two months ago to 600 the last update. I'm really hoping for a PR6 now. I just did a link:www.daniweb.com and now I'm showing up as having over 2,300 backlinks

I did some investigating and it seems the word on the street is that everyone is seeing 2-3X the number of backlinks previously reported, as Google is now showing < PR4 backlinks as well? Not sure of the ramifications of this. Anyone care to comment?
The backlinks shown seem more accurate than before. The command www.domain.com -site:www.domain.com used to return a more true count of people linking to your page (usually double or triple the link: command) but now they seem very close in numbers.

In the past, what we were seeing was a monthly backlink update shortly followed by a PR update. We've missed this path PR update but have seen 2 backlink updates so far. So who knows

What I believe google is doing is switching to a quarterly PR update. The reason for this is to discourage the us of buying and selling PR for PR's sake. This way, suppose you get a good backlink. That backlink will affect your SERPS right away - but you, as a webmaster, can't reverse engineer google to figure out how much weight it has given your pagerank, etc.
How do you guess that Dani? I'm interested to know.
I'm thinking they will either ditch it completely (after all they don't own the patent for it) or keep it secret. Personally I hope they keep it secret or only update very infrequently like you suggest because I'm getting a ton more link requests now that PR isn't perceived as so important.
