Search data seems to show that each new product seems to raise Wine's profile a bit

It's a small effect, and it's not really surprising,
but if you look at a graph of the relative search volume for the phrases
  linux wine
  linux photoshop
  linux warcraft
  linux steam
it seems that each time a new big app starts working on Linux
enough for people to start searching for it (photoshop, warcraft, steam),
the number of queries for linux wine goes up a little bit.

I'm just pleased to see that the effect is measurable, and not lost in
the noise...
