If Microsoft uses the data from this test to promote the sales of Windows NT, they are using lies to advertise their product.
If they allow the press to use this report to compare their product to Linux, they are allowing lies to be used to promote their product.
If they allow Mindcraft to publish a false report, they are allowing lies to be used to promote their product.
It doesn't matter who paid Mindcraft. Microsoft may not have broken any law on truth in advertising, but they're not being honest.
That is far more important than whether Linux or NT is better, or whether or not the Linux community does as much to promote Linux.
