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.

They give it away for free because more people running Android is more people using apps that generate revenue for Google. Windows/Android dual-boot just means the device will run Android less than a pure Android device would.
