>I've read MS licenses and do not recall any saying that you are prohibited of talking about their products. That's like saying if I buy a MS product I forfeit free speech rights. In fact, I just read the license agreement for Windows NT workstation and IE5 and it does not say anything about benchmarks. Benchmark numbers about MS products are in every other IT magazine these days.

What are YOU talking about? Everyone has read the articles about M$ fudging benchmarks and forcing suppliers of its products to only support M$. We aren't talking about the EULA you get with your copy of Win9x/NT. We are talking about major company agreements like HP, Dell, IBM, etc.
