Tom,

Note that on this press release, there appears the following text:

"Rather than try to match a result in a benchmark test that was already in dispute, Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard chose to craft a solution that would more closely match actual business conditions, including the need to get maximum value from any enterprise solution. They also wanted to develop a solution that met the original intention of TPC-D."

Which is to say that they didn't actually run the exact same tests that Oracle ran when they "met the challenge".
