@anon
I wonder that too but then I realized that connecting to the Internet without the user’s permission is a problem with Windows.

Why can’t they just count how many times a certain update was downloaded and installed from apt-get or something. It won’t be exact but would be close.

using connections to a repository is not an indication of the number of people USING Fedora. I download a copy just to check the hype against reality. I might be tempted to go back to windows before using Fedora.
