Read the EULA licenses very carefully. It expressly forbids the
publication of benchmarks without Microsoft's prior written
permission. If you publish without that written permission, Microsoft
can ask you to retract, rewrite, and/or retest your benchmark.
Microsoft uses copyright law and trademark law more effectively than
any company I know of. Not every judge sides with Microsoft, but
enough do to make benchmarks like these "collector's Items".
