I think you need to be a little careful with these numbers. People looking for Macromedia Fireworks may not actually include "Macromedia" in their search. You can only really get a fair compirson when you compare just the product name and both names are unique to that product. So there is no way to directly compare Inkscape with Fireworks or Expression or Publisher.

It's fortunate that Inkscape is a unique name as it means the trends we see relate directly to the software. Notice how fireworks spikes once a year :D
