Three Cheers For Microsoft!

The software to run this test came free to subscribers of Dr. Dobbs. Congratulations to microsoft for giving us a peek. Win lose or draw, it's the right thing to let people evaluate your products -- even if the ulterior motive might possibly be to claim an excessive number of registered installations.

I reviewed the EULA and as far as I can tell, this generous offer doesn't preclude me from publishing results. Oddly, the only limitation I could spot was disclosure of .net platform benchmark results, which sounds very optimistic. I can't imagine getting anything like that running, much less fast enough to actually measure in real time. I won't quote the actual wording, since there's a copyright on it.
