Comment 7 for bug 493852

I've now opted out of popularity-contest. It's not worth it to me to have my system grind to a halt every week, and I generally just get pissed off and kill the process anyway. Microsoft collects application usage information in Windows as well, and while the information isn't always 100% accurate, Programs and Features loads in only a few seconds. C'mon, Ubuntu... you're not allowed to lose to Windows! :P
