From a business perspective, not only would the dual system device potentially benefit Intel because it uses the company’s X86 chip, but it would also help Microsoft make a deeper Windows market penetration, possibly muscling out Android in some areas. That didn’t sit well with Google.
Maybe it's because it's Friday and my brain so starting to shut down, but how does a dual boot windows/android machine hurt android when they give it away for free to mobile OEMs? What am I missing?
ETA: and yes, that would have actually been pretty awesome.

Right now, there aren't any laptops running android though right? Wouldn't getting android into laptops in some form or fashion be better than nothing?

Windows basically kicks the shite out of Android on a laptop, and if I were Google I wouldn't want people to be comparing the two on the same machine, either.

Nor is it a fair comparison on a laptop. Be like also comparing Windows 8 to iOS 8 on a laptop.
