Oh my, you really can’t accept it! Check the previous 2-3 yearly surveys, GNOME share keeps growing and KDE keeps going down. Check http://www.google.com/trends?q=GNOME%2C+KDE&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 as well (and I don’t think that so many people are looking for garden gnomes)!

Yeeess, certainly ... and both desktops are losing users since 2004 (at least according to the google trend chart).

Mmh, I do not trust these results too much.

Oh, and by the way: KDE is waaaay more often in the news than gnome ;-)

yeah, I've seen these google trend numbers before. They're weird, as they say we where more popular in 2004 than now, while we didn't have half as much press work going on by then. Everyone in the community must have noticed we got our act together in the last 3 or 4 years - yet according to google, we lost. That's just wrong...
