I have no idea.

Although this is a nice idea, the problem with these questionnaires is
that the answers are in a bucket and the accurate answer is not
available for this person.
I think the biggest hurdle that the user faces is the possibility that
they might have to learn something about their computer along the way.
This probably taints their expectation of the system as a whole.
The more savvy computer users are probably system admins who are way too
busy to take the time to fill out a bug report, let alone a 'how does
this distro please you' form.
It's a nice idea, but I wouldn't put too much on the results. A shorter
simple question like 'If you could change one thing, and one thing only,
what would that be' open question might be more reliable.
As for the applet idea, that would annoy me no end, they pop up at the
most inconvenient times.
