Microsoft Hard-Balling EU Over Vista
Michael Hickins writes on internetnews.com:
Microsoft is spreading the word that it might not ship Vista to Europe if regulators don't cooperate.More here.
This after CEO Steve Ballmer issued that same threat to European Commissioner Neelie Kroes during a telephone conversation on Aug. 22.
Microsoft is now taking its brinksmanship to the next level by making the substance of that conversation public, through the use of emissaries.
"This is part of the negotiating strategy," a person familiar with the situation told internetnews.com. "They're in a public relations battle."
