I read I love Google search results… OS X trails Linux and I am not satisfied with the search method. For example, I love Suse gives 408,000 results on google.com. On the German google.de website the first result for this search is WINE I love you on the openSUSE Forums. To reduce these false results, I searched the whole string in quotation marks. But is number of lovers a good indicator? No. Therefore I compare the number of lovers with the number of haters. Here are my results (searched on google.com).
| product | I love | I hate | ratio |
| Internet Explorer | 43,300 | 778,000 | 0.06 |
| Debian | 43,800 | 15,100 | 2.90 |
| GNOME | 50,500 | 92,000 | 0.55 |
| Google Chrome | 84,000 | 62,600 | 1.34 |
| (Open)Suse | 90,200 | 16,100 | 5.60 |
| (Mac) OS X | 159,600 | 65,800 | 2.43 |
| Fedora | 175,000 | 14,800 | 11.82 |
| Windows 7 | 197,000 | 82,700 | 2.38 |
| iPod | 205,000 | 46,200 | 4.44 |
| Microsoft | 285,000 | 381,000 | 0.75 |
| (K/X)Ubuntu | 307,057 | 137,674 | 2.23 |
| Linux | 547,000 | 107,000 | 5.11 |
| Windows | 564,000 | 500,000 | 1.13 |
| Firefox | 987,000 | 66,400 | 14.86 |
| Youtube | 1,860,000 | 200,000 | 9.30 |
| 2,180,000 | 167,000 | 13.05 | |
| KDE | 6,210,000 | 83,800 | 74.11 |
BTW, there are no Edubuntu haters. I love GNOME, but where are all the GNOME lovers?
Edit: I have added Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

I noticed you included Firefox in those results. Just to be fair, I want to give the opposition a chance.
“I love Internet Explorer” – 43,200
“I hate Internet Explorer” – 792,000
Ratio – 0.05
(I found it funny to add “6” to the end of each of those, but I’ll let you try that for yourself)
“I love Chrome” – 122,000
“I hate Chrome” – 262,000
Ratio – 0.47
I have added Google Chrome instead of Chrome, because Chrome itself is ambiguous.
Very interesting… I guess KDE is really good with high customer satisfaction.
Yep, KDE is awesome!
Yey, I love KDE. too. 😉
I’ve recently switched from Ubuntu+GNOME to Mandriva+KDE and I’m falling in love with KDE (and Mandriva) more and more.
You might be the tipping point for me to try Fedora again 😛
I’m a gnome lover……well I wouldn’t go that far, actually I’ll like to see gnome brought into the 21st century.
KDE is good too. Just happen to use gnome because that’s what Ubuntu comes in, and believe it or not I really like the brown.
Anyway, it’s all good. If you have holidays at this time, have a good one.

The KDE stat seems like a real outlier – having 10 times as many results for “I love KDE” than “I hate internet explorer” doesn’t pass the sniff test.
I love Gnome.
I expect that people love Gnome because it stays out of the way. It is not an in-your-face & in-your-space system. Gnome does its job and stays out of the way. It does not inspire love — you don’t even know it is there. That is why we Gnome-users love it so much.
I have also never said how much I love “alt ~” switching between active windows of the same application, as it is so good and so simple.
