Does Padded send any information to home base?
In general, no. However, the Check for Updates function does send some basic information about your platform — OS version and CPU type and model; plus Service Pack level on Windows and a ‘best guess’ at your distro name on Linux. This information is used on the odd occasion that updates information varies depending on platform. An example of this will be when Mac OS X versions prior to Leopard are dropped from the supported platforms list. Another would be where there’s a minor version incriment to fix a problem that exists only on one platform.
