All OS are dying except for Ubuntu!

I could hardly see that graph...lol

Without meaning to cause offence, I'm going to say that that is utter cobblers.

Ubuntu is growing, and that's good, if for no other reason than increased linux adoption will improve linux, but the other major distros aren't going to go anywhere, and neither is MS or Apple.

The small independent distros will no doubt pop in and out of existence with as much enthusiasm as they always have. The big players will still be here in 10 years.

If the other OS's are going then you can say goodbye to:

A Lot of Kernel Contributions
Gnome
Ext3
KDE
OpenOffice
Banshee

Oh wait, that means Ubuntu can't possibly exist anymore without someone taking over and continuing to develop all of the applications that Debian, Red Hat and Novell give. That certainly won't be an easy task

Surprisingly true!

p.s., those stats are from google trends. You can do them yourself.

Although according to this pictures, Windows Vista is not "dying"... in fact, searches are going up

Oh crap. I might as well wipe my Windows partitions because obviously Ubuntu is the only worthy operating system. Thanks, Google Trends!

If Debian dies... Ubuntu dies... Never forget that!

I don't know about that. It's entirely possible that Debian could be deemed obsolete, and the devs could jump ship to Ubuntu in one mass bloodless political coup

Debian is by no means obsolete.

It's google trends. Doesn't it compare search density?
