I can't speak for Apple, or Microsoft.  However I am able to share
some information.

For Microsoft at least, their position on MTI remains that specifying
MTI is not preferable.  You can find plenty of elaboration on this
subject if you search around a little.  However, it is also
Microsoft's view that it is extremely important to respect the
consensus process.

That would be pure speculation.  Microsoft has a policy of not
revealing any information about unreleased and unannounced products,
and it seems like Apple act similarly.  I think it unlikely that you
are going to get any information on this subject.  Asking repeatedly
is likely to annoy more than it is to get more answers.  I suggest
that you concentrate on the issues, and try to keep speculation to
yourself.
