Windows Vista is fast… just take Microsoft's word for it.

Wow… just wow!

from this article:

Vista licensing also limits benchmarking

“According to the Vista EULA, because the OS contains “one or more components” of the .Net Framework 3.0, users can conduct internal benchmarking of those components, but can’t disclose the results of those benchmarks — or measurements to compare rival products — unless they comply with conditions found at a Microsoft Web site

The article mentions how the restrictions are very vague and confusing, and moreover since they are based on the company website, they could be changed at any time.

Maybe I have just gotten too accustomed to the open source community and how freely that kind of information flows, but this just seems silly to me.  If you put out a product, you should be proud to match it up against your competitors.
