It seem a bit disingenuous for Apple to shift blames to Microsoft.

Microsoft does not sell retail licenses of Windows for ARM devices and what Apple proposed isn't the way Microsoft currently does business for ARM hardware.

Yes, Microsoft could change how they do business to accommodate, but so too could Apple.

If Microsoft turn around and ask Apple to license Windows and provide the OS as an option to buyers, or ask Apple to supply Macbook hardware so Microsoft could sell Macbooks with Windows on it, Apple likely would have said no too.

Yeah. "Well Microsoft has Windows running on Surface ARM tablets, so..."

Maybe Apple can offer to run Windows on iPad? No...?

I agree with you.
