I'm glad they didn't do anything like this. A web page, even if it's one from the manufacturer, shouldn't have access to that information about the processes running beside the browser. If the survey had been able to to that it would have been a massive security hole.

They could have done this by releasing a survey application, separate from the browser, but might get less responses when people needed to install something for it.
