IIRC, either Omni Group or Panic or someone does something like this
already, and has been doing it for a while. I don't think anyone
has ever
complained about it, either. The last time I looked at their graph,
it was
some time earlier in 10.4 Tiger's life-cycle, and it showed OS
version, CPU
arch, and maybe a couple of other data points, like total RAM or CPU
speed.
Anyway, the graph nicely showed 10.4 uptake rates (faster than I
would have
guessed), as well as transition rates to x86 (also faster than my
guess),
all as percentages of users with a particular capability. I wish I
could
remember which company it was, because it was a nice example of how a
fairly small amount of data collected from a large number of users
over an
extended time period can be very useful for product planning.
Their system, and the fact that they make their stats available online
is very nice indeed.
