Wow check out these results... It seems more people are searching and talking about Ubuntu right now than Windows Vista! Ubuntu has come a long way and so has microsoft in the opposite direction. Personally Ubuntu works better on all my pc's and hardware than vista and it is surely fast and better than the competition. Ubuntu is steadily getting more popular and more stable and has grown more and more favorable to the world. It is wonderful to see the world become enlightened and hopeful for open source systems.

Now lets take a look at the Ubuntu Forums activity vs Windows Forums activity...

ubuntu forums

windows forums

hmm looks like more people are talking about Ubuntu, and less about windows. This does not supprise me at all, since Ubuntu is a new thing, and it is a good change, we all have seen blogs about grandparents using Ubuntu and Girlfriends using it too, my girlfriend uses Ubuntu and loves it, she absolutely loves Desktop Effects, Gimp and Pidgin. What do you think about Ubuntu?

ubuntu's nice. I'm anxious to see how it evolves and becomes even more user friendly. it'd be nice to see even less instances when the terminal is required as it is scary to those who aren't tech savvy. Pidgin needs voice and vid support as well, though I know it isn't really part of ubuntu, thought I'd mention it anyway since it was in your article.

Really coming along nicely though. I use it almost exclusively.

Gratifying (I use Kubuntu on my PC).

But it should have been 'Vista' v/s Ubuntu and not 'Windows Vista' v/s Ubuntu

[Which, unfortunately, presents a different picture]

Here are the reasons as per the trends today-

'Vista' has about 214,000,000 google results while 'Vista -Windows'/'Vista -Microsoft' hardly shows 32,000,000 pages.

There is no reason to believe searchers will behave any different from the 182,000,000 content providers.

If they want to search for Microsoft's Vista, they will simply search for 'Vista' and not 'Windows Vista'.

I haven't looked at other possible words that might go with 'Vista' though.

However, I DID take a quick look at linguistics of this search. But given the fact that same countries top both 'Vista' and 'Windows Vista', any chances for that bias fall flat.

Hope you will research it better next time.
