Do you remember in the early 2000s where Microsoft added to the .net runtime licence that you weren't allowed to perform or publish performance benchmarks?

Since then, I think It's fair to consider performance benchmarks coming fom Microsoft to be less than trustable.

The downvotes are likely because it's 20 years later and TechEmpower benchmarks are neutral and open-source: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks
