Finally Bill Gates does some active evil

Microsoft bent my Danish prime minister

I think the translations a little poor, but Danish newspaper Borsen is alledging that Bill Gates threatened to pull 800 jobs out of the Netherlands if that country opposed software patents in the EU.

Remember software is a way of doing math. Ways of doing math are discovered not created. Things that are discovered are not patentable -- only things that are created are patentable. Copywrong your software if you must, but do not patent it.
