As another poster said, several companies have done this.  It sounds
more like a:
 * By purchasing this car you agree to not publish any test results

prior written approval.

However, in this case, I am free to complain to Microsoft all I like
that .Net is too slow.  Which would not be spam due to Microsoft's own
EULA. :-)
