ARM is UK corporation, which would mean that the European Commission (anti-trust section) would have to approve the deal. ARM is so dominant in the mobile CPU market that Apple would really have to commit into keeping ARM licensing on fair basis.

Well Apple is definately more evil than microsoft. They criticize microsoft for having a monopoly and yet you can only develop apps that they approve of and their pcs can be run only on their proprietery hardware. At least microsoft lets you choose what hardware to buy. I am getting sick of apple. I hope google and micirosoft trump them.

it would never get past EU regulations b/c it would give apple massive unfair advantage b/c they would know everything there competitors are planning
EU are very strict in recent times in acting for the interests of European firms v the NA ones

MS has a different hold of the market; where you may have to buy in to their ecosystem to maintain interoperability with your employer, colleagues, customers, suppliers, family, etc.

Nope. The evil would be in the aftermath.
He came to that conclusion only based by the offer price, so I was asking for clarification.
