This is the second time I've made this post (I think the last time was around the Dapper launch).

A very interesting thing to see, after every Ubuntu launch, is 'Google Trends'.

It shows how popular Ubuntu has been around every release.

http://google.com/trends?q=hoary%2C+breezy%2C+dapper%2C+edgy%2C+feis ty&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

http://google.com/trends/viz?q=hoary,+breezy,+dapper,+edgy,+feisty&date=all&geo=all&graph=weekly_img&sa=N

I believe Feisty and Feisty+1 will (like Edgy) cause a slight increase, while Feisty+2 (the next LTS version of Ubuntu) will be another jump.

I love graphs like this, they're very interesting:)

Oh, and do remember: this is only an indication, there are no exact numbers.

you are aware of course that the adjectives are simply common adjectives in the English language...thus, news references including those adjectives are vastly overrported.

Ignore the news references ;-) They're totally incorrect.

The search volume is another case.

You can clearly see the relation ;)
