Landing in the Phoronix e-mail inbox last night was a question by a reader asking how hardware vendors determine the operating systems used by their customers and their respective market-share since there isn't anything to "phone home" and report usage statistics. In other words, this reader had just purchased four desktop processors and he was wondering how to inform AMD that he's a Linux user. This is in hopes of going towards their Linux tally and eventually increasing their Linux level of support.
Isn't it funny how often the simple, obvious, "dumb" questions are the really important ones, that somehow no one seems to have actually bothered to ask before (at least, not out loud)?
To whomever asked that question -- Bravo! (Kudos also to Phoronix, for taking the trouble to treat it seriously).
