How agile is your country?

Google's new Trends service (which appears to be the old Zeitgeist but now on demand) allows you to find out what people are searching on. 

I tried it with a number of different Microsoft agile terms and was surprised at the results:

It is only a relative comparison without any real numbers or drilldown capability so it is hard to read much into the results.  However it seems that other countries are searching for more Microsoft agile stuff than the US.  Is this a side effect of offshoring?  Is this indicative of a greater number of developers in these countries or just more developers with time to search for new techniques?  Hard to know but interesting nonetheless.
