Was just installing some software, and it asked if it could send anonymous usage statistics to the developer. Ive seen this a lot, and was wondering how many people actually let them send the statistics?

I don't usually turn them off. I don't see the harm in sending back information to help them with problems or to help them gain a compatibility list.
