Microsoft Censorship Clause Spreads to More Products | |
|

Is it possible Microsoft has something to hide about the performance of its server and developer products? It’s hard to escape that conclusion when you see how many of its license agreements now contain language forbidding customers of those products from disclosing benchmark results. Time was that SQL Server was the only product Microsoft restricted in this way, and there it could truthfully argue it was only following the lead of Oracle and other competitors it the database arena. But a look at its latest Purchase Use Rights agreement, which governs license rights for all volume license customers, shows the list of such products has grown considerably. | ||

Wasn't there a court case (up in New York I think?) on this issue that Microsoft Lost ?
It's been a while so the whole thing is fuzzy. TL |

Nice FUD, TL.
First of all, this clause has been inlcuded in several Microsoft products for quite some time. Second of all, this is industry standard practice. Nothing to see here. |
