| Million said: Your whole software/hardware company argument is flawed. Microsoft being a software company doesn't mean they'll have bad hardware , it's absoloutley absurd to assume tha they would on that basis . The reason why they consistently produce bad hardware is through lack of adequet testing , if MS allocated the resouces to making quality hardware then they'd have quality hardware. Intelligence,Knowledge,Experience and skills is not something MS posses , it's through their employees that they are able to achieve what they do. If they wanted good hardware they'd employee people with the experience and skills to produce good hardware. You talk about the companies like they where individuals , they're not , they employee their skills they don't posses them directly .MS is as capable of making good hardware as Sony is good software.

I didn't say for a moment that it's assumed Microsoft will have bad hardware or Sony will have bad software, I just used recent examples to highlight the fact that these are not their respective areas of specialization. What is absurd is your last statement. Are you seriously arguing against the economic principle of specialization? Are you honestly trying to persuade people that any company can do anything better than another company that has been specializing in that "thing" for decades?
I didn't for a moment talk about these two companies as though they are individuals. I talked about their assets, and in economics, the single biggest asset a company has is skilled labour. At the end of the day, the great majority of Microsoft's skilled labour (outside of in-house accountants, economists and their enormous HR department) is made up of software developers. For Sony, most of their human "assets" are hardware engineers (once again accepting those departments unrelated to core business but necessary for large multinationals like Sony and Microsoft to function).
