Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In his "Wide Angle" column on the PCWeek March 29 Editorial & Opinion page, John Taschek takes Microsoft to task for disallowing benchmarks in their new software licenses: "And now Microsoft is starting to chicken out at a time when performance measurements are gaining in importance...
