Won't really do much good.  Many folks have software on the system that is 
never used, just because it was in the default, or even worse, in the 
Everything install before we killed that, and now its just being updated 
along with all the other crud on the system, but never actually used.

However, any kind of application usage tracking gets dangerously close to 
personal information that I'd rather not collect.
