What a poor survey. These notes are about the Developer version.
The final question is, "If selected, will you use this Chrome notebook as your primary computer and provide regular feedback?" This should have been the first question so people didn't have to waste their time filling out the survey if they won't use the machine as their #1 machine.
How many developers would use a Chrome OS netbook as their primary computer? A secondary computer (think tablet) sure, but for doing their day-to-day coding?
I've used a tiny Viao (pre-netbook era) as a main (home) development machine, but that had a full Linux OS and was unusual.
Other issues:
- Have to provide a US state even for people outside of the US
- Item labeled "Primary Email" with a note, "If you have a Gmail address, please supply that."
- Can only answer once to, "Which OS do you use most of the time?" (How about people who use two OSes equally?)
- Similar problem for, "Which web browser do you use most of the time?". (Different browsers on different computers? Using multiple main browers at the same time?)
- "What type of device do you use most frequently?" Again, only one answer. (I use laptop, desktop and ipad extensively)
- "How do you check your email most often?" single option. (How about people who, you know, check both work and personal email?)
- "Which apps or tools do you use at least once a week?". It names specific applications. Hard to tell if "Adobe Reader" is meant as a proxy for "PDF Viewer" or not.
- "How do you connect to the Internet most often?" only a single answer...
- (snip: other questions with only single answers that should allow multiple)
