over 6 years , when I start to develop the project of linux , until now .... it's diffcult to do this kiind of job before , there is few howto documents and introduction , but now , it's much easier than before .

and there is some different , I think the linux's users who join in Linux for hating Windows are decreasing. is it real ?

for confirm this phenomenon , I design a survey , please do me a favor , I need many linux's users to complete this job . please =)

In Taiwan , I can send a gift to people who complete this survey , but in here , I just can send my appreciation and blessing , sorry .... it's really very negligible , I hope somebody can help me =)

the survey's web site is here : http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDFFNFRKbXk0OENxWnlBNVZoM2tXOFE6M Q

You should emphasize that the survey is for people at a developers standpoint.

You describe this as a user survey but a lot of questions are aimed at developers, so I couldn't finish it. Also, there are many questions that are repeated in a slightly different wording several times.

wow. that survey has some weird questions, didnt finish it after reading questions like:



I was aware of the way my mind was working.

At times, it almost seemed like things were happening in slow motion.

I had a feeling of total control.

I loved the feeling of that performance and want to capture it again.


im using software, not doing drugs. :confused:

That's often a data collection technique intended to validate responses (believe it or not, about half the time people give a different answer to what is fundamentally the same question, and when they do, the response is invalid unless you've asked thrice, in which case you can use the mode). When done expertly, you don't realize you're being asked the same question.

I am confuse by the survey. Like something about your mind, body and mood. What hast got to do with Open source.
