OpenOffice used to have such surveys on their releases during the installation process. I particuarly never saw this data create anything. Maybe it was analyzed by Sun exclusively, but the marketing project at the time, never really create much. I think a more open and responsive and interactive system is the one that was generated during the 4.0 brainstorm.
That said, are we looking for something specific at the moment. I think most of the info from that ideastorm still need to set in place. IMO.
