What I found amazing was the comparison of Linux distros, where Ubuntu has made leaps and bounds compared with Redhat and Debian. I also enjoyed looking at the Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape chart. Equally amazing was the comparison between Wikipedia and Britannica encyclopaedias. A good choice of trends to exploit Google Trends to its full.
