from what I understand (which may be very little, who can tell such things!) Bill Gates doesn't own Microsoft and hasn't for a while, he only has a small stakeholding.
anyway, sounds like bill's bark is worse than his bite. I dont think he has the authority to make this kind of decision for microsoft!!! (although you can argue the rest of his ms minions will follow he every command). Sounds like the danish pm has nothing to worry bout.
as to this tactic, its a normal business tactic. not suprised in the least, its how the world works.
