RE: OK, maybe THIS one will be my final word

Of course you stand by your statement that I am lacking in business knowledge, but again you offer nothing to explain why it is wrong to categorize Sony as an A/V company and MS as a software company. Their core business models are exactly that and they use the business units they have attained to support it...except for Microsoft going off into the gaming/HD DVD arena with the XBox. They should stick to their core businesses which for Microsoft means staying out of A/V formats and electronics.

I did mean much, not march.

Sony is not a rival of Microsoft's. Their businesses only intersect in one area: the XBox vs PS3 arena, and that is a brand new arena for MS that has nothing to do with their core business. HD DVD vs Blu ray is an outgrowth of that arena and this is my beef with MS joining that fray, as anyone who has followed my posts can easily glean. For the upteenth time, MS has virtually no good experience bringing A/V gear to market.

The MS executive you quoted from the Times has a reputation for being underhanded. Do you really think Toshiba gave the $150,000,000 to Paramount? What's your speculation based upon?
