Wouldn't Microsoft need a majority in the board to do so?

  Exactly! For $2bn out of $24bn they can talk but not much more.

    Talking is worth something if the other $22bn is listening.

    It's a loan, not shares, either. Does your mortgage lender get to tell you which career path to take?

  I think that's not really what microsoft is after. But if so, would the other board members care either way about Ubuntu/Linux? And even if they do they could give in on this to get something else.
