"Or something." Perhaps a contractual violation of the EULA. Whether that is actually a reasonable restraint that can be put in a contract might be up for debate, but I for one would not like to spend time in a courtroom with M$ lawyers debating the enforceability. "Performance or Benchmark Testing. You may not disclose the results of any benchmark test of either the Server Software or Client Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Commerce Server, Host Integration Server, Internet Security and Acceleration Server, BizTalk Server, Application Center, Microsoft Transaction Server, Microsoft Message Queue Server, Microsoft Internet Information Server, or Microsoft Proxy Server to any third party without Microsoft's prior written approval."
