Maybe MS didn't like the idea of embracing something largely funded by European taxpayers - without the consent or knowledge of said taxpayers.
Besides which there would have been a hue and cry from Helsinki to Valetta, Dublin to Sofia, about MS being subsidised by the EU Commission European taxpayers - whilst not paying any tax themselves.
Where's the European IBM, MS, FB, Apple, Google, Twitter; all there is ARM and that's from the cousins.
