Microsoft's statement: "We'd be more than happy to include advertising but need Google to provide us access to the necessary APIs."
What's interesting is what they don't say. They don't say that Google have refused to provide them this, or even that they asked Google for this.
Assuming that Google's complaint of "Prevents the display of advertisements in YouTube video playbacks" is a TOS violation, it looks to me that Microsoft violated their TOS first, and are only now trying to imply that Google are the bad guys.
