I've got the feeling Ballmer is going to go for an extended Swiss vacation real soon now.
And he will feel like graciously giving up 90% on license fees and whatnot, all in a period of general feel-goodyness.
At least, until they still say "No thanks", at which point the hotel better have its plush chairs bolted to the floor.

Swiss has one of the highest GDP per capita in Europe and they can't afford Microsoft software that you have to buy once every 4-5 years? I'd understand taking such actions in Bosnia or Kosovo but they probably use pirated Microsoft software so meh...

Every day people chip away at MS a little bit. It doesn't look like much at first, but these small changes add up over time.

Someday we're going to wake up and wonder where Windows went.

And just how many Swiss kids can't afford Microsoft Software?

I don't mean buying the programs... I mean the whole damn company! Or is this a special measure for the lovely Albanian families moving into the area lately?

You're thinking of Austria!
