Which is more important to Linux users, itunes or photoshop?
Not a real question, but I thought this graph was interesting: http://www.google.com/trends?q=dreamweaver+linux%2C+%22world+of+warcraft%22+... It seems iTunes on Linux is twice as popular a query as Photoshop on Linux. No idea what that really means, but it does make me want to get our iTunes support shipshape... Then again, this graph shows mplayer beating out itunes (presumably because it works): http://www.google.com/trends?q=dreamweaver+linux%2C+mplayer+linux%2C++itunes... OK, too much fooling around with graphs. Back to watching Underdog with my four-year-old...

Similarly: http://www.google.com/trends?q=photoshop+linux%2C+itunes+linux%2C+itunes+ubu... Let's not get ahead of ourselves, though. A lot of these queries are because there's a howto they're looking for, exactly because it's hard to get it to work out of the box. Thanks, Scott Ritchie
OK, by meanings - Dreamweaver and Photoshop are important - iTunes are not so important ..but a lot more peoples know about ITunes. 2007/12/24, Dan Kegel <dank(a)kegel.com>:

This is just looking for search queries, there are probably a lot more variationis of it (such as dreamweavers+ubuntu, etc). I personally think all 3 important: - iTunes because it's such a popular program, and wine should have support for it. - Photoshop and dreamweaver are because there are no professional alternatives for it with a familiar interface. They are 2 groups that have different demands of the os (amusement vs productivity). So I think they are both important in their own way. Cheers, Maarten.

I agree with this stand point. Aside from the iTunes store functionality there a few different programs that are excellent replacements for iTunes. People are probably just querying it to figure out how to work with their iPods. Photoshop/Dreamweaver/Illustrator are all definitely big on the professional side. I use Photoshop myself, though I'm sort of weened myself off of it and am getting used to the Gimp. Maybe the new Gimp interface will be more intuitive? Either way both should be focus points but if you put priority one, I feel like Photoshop and friends is probably a little more important to people. -Zac

I'm not a developer, but it seems to me that people google search when something /doesn't/ work. Few people google wine+world of warcraft (or WoW) because it works out of the box for most people, for example.

By that argument, google searches are a good indication of where we need to focus our effort. And that's exactly what I was after.

Another interesting search is this to add 'office linux' though the problem is that it is hard to say if everyone means microsoft office with it but even if only half the people mean that, then there is still a very high demand. I haven't looked for internet explorer or excel/word/powerpoint themselves: http://www.google.com/trends?q=office+linux%2C+dreamweaver+linux%2C+%22world...

Maybe we should compare the google graph to appdb hits.
