I dunno about that.  That data suggests that Windows Vista is
outperforming other OSes in searches.  However, This URL seems to
suggest (at least to me) that "vista" is a keyword for more than just
Windows Vista.  I would expect to see similarly high results for "winXP"
within the past few years as we see recently for "vista"
