If approached correctly, they will, and they're the only people who'd
know for sure.  Try contacting their press departments or, better
still, their advertising agencies.  Tell them you want to boast about
their products.

If you have no luck with this approach, try _MacUser_.  I understand
that they attempt to gather this type of information but I don't know
how well they do.
