Hi!

Since my Microsoft has forbiden to publish benchmarks for CLR, does
that mean that this includes all benchmarks for all applications that are
written with C# and that it is illegal to compare an application using .NET
in any kind of performance measurement to other competitive applications?

Thanks!
Atmapuri.

Micorosoft cannot forbid anybody to do benchmarks, since this is not legal.
Also lots of things that are included
lots of microsofts licence agreements are not correct and legal.

You can benchmark what you want and publish it at will. Lots of other people
did this before you can google to .net benchmarks if you want. imho .net is
not this slow that microsoft must fear a benchmark.

Actually, if you are concerned with legality for some reason and feel you
have some possible liability, you should consult with an attorny. Most
likely, no one here is qualified to give you advice about your own legal
standings, even less so when they aren't aware of what jurisdiction the case
would fall under. Publishing posts on these groups or personal web pages
hasn't shown itself to be an issue in the past, and I doubt it will be(but I
can't speak for Microsoft) and I personally wouldn't worry about it.

Publishing your tests in a magazine or the like without seeking permission
might be risky. I've seen a number of benchmarks where results aren't
identified becuase the company wouldn't allow the benchmark to be
published(though I doubt the publication would allow that to slip past their
own legal department).
