Here us the Google Trends graph showing the decline in the search terms 'Microsoft' and 'Windows': http://www.google.co.uk/trends/explore?q=microsoft%2C+windows#q=microsoft%2C%20windows%2C%20android%2C%20iphone&cmpt=q http://www.google.co.uk/trends/explore?q=microsoft%2C+window... For comparison there is the trend for 'iphone' and 'android'. Sure Microsoft are doing loads of exciting things but people aren't typing 'Microsoft' or 'Windows' into the search engine box of Google as much as they used to. Make of that what you will.

Well, if you search for "windows safe mode", that went down too and "windows [version] safe mode" is systematically in the top 5 suggestions after "windows [version]". That may mean that people search less for windows because it became more stable. Good news! http://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=windows+safe+mode#q=windows%20safe%20mode&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=windows+safe+mode#q=w... My point is that, yeah, getting conclusions from that is hard...
