Phoronix Test Suite 1.0.0
,----[ Quote ]
| You have likely already read the Phoronix Test Suite 1.0 press release, but
| today -- on the fourth anniversary of Phoronix -- we have reached the version
| 1.0 milestone for this Linux testing platform. It's been a lot of work --
| over the past few months especially -- though we've reached our initial goal
| in formalizing and releasing our internal test tools and at the same time
| developing a feature-rich platform. Plans are already being made for charting
| the future of the Phoronix Test Suite and the features we will be rolling out
| over the coming months, but in this article we'll highlight some of what is
| already possible with Phoronix Test Suite 1.0.

Vista licensing also limits benchmarking
,----[ Quote ]
| License transfers aren't the only thing the End User License Agreement
| (EULA) for Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Vista OS limits. The license
| also puts restrictions on how benchmarks of certain components of
| the OS can be published, another issue that is raising eyebrows as
| Microsoft still has not clarified how changes will specifically
| affect users.
|
| According to the Vista EULA, because the OS contains "one or more
| components" of the .Net Framework 3.0, users can conduct internal
| benchmarking of those components, but can't disclose the results
| of those benchmarks -- or measurements to compare rival products
| -- unless they comply with conditions found at a Microsoft Web
| site.
