When this was said, I got the image of some company padding the 
submitted profiles, so they could then say, "Look the number of people 
using our hardware is > than the number of people using their hardware!" 
and then trying to leverage that to some effect.  Crazy, but there are 
people that hire people to go and edit Wikipedia into their favor.
