Sorry haha but Apple did this as defiance, not a troll, and as Microsoft can attest for when they have tried pulling shenanigans like this, it only leads to financial pain. Apple is actually acting worse than Microsoft has in matters like this and their nonsensical explanations that any two-year-old can see through are going to bite them in the butt and hard. Apple is going to regret this big time as the bad PR that will arise from the drama will haunt them for years to come. And right as Qualcomm's Snapdragon X is hitting the market, Microsoft can easily frame themselves as the knight in shining armor and fair option of the two which will certainly hurt MacBook and iPad sales.
