For a second , I really thought Canonical lost their minds... However further reading indicates this is only an OEM measure. That is, providers such as HP,DELL,ACER,etc... will engage with Canonical to provide usage data. What provoked my knee-jerk comment above was what would be so contriving to try and count the actual number of individual new download->installs on any given platform/OS release; we'd all be writing scripts to steer it in a different direction. Yeah, kinda like US Elections.
This is an insane question but if ther is a such thing as the Linux Penguin then will there be a such thinng as an an apple APPLE? Or BSD demon?! If I had to choose from one of those I would choose the demon. Why? Because its the devil babey! yeah!
If you didnt get the above sentance, dont bother reading the rest of the article, because the companies involved in this are making mony off of the habits of skript kiddies abroad ($5000 for membership). However, does anyone here smell a rotten apple? This is what we want to avoid in the security industry today, because now the crackers have *something ELSE* to crack on?
I think it was said best when Microsoft:
"That vulnerability is completely theoretical!".
The potential of this "team" is completely theoretical.

This isnt just a giant TOY, because if it breaks, then we're all vapor.
