quality costs more, and will drive down profits. A wise manufacturer,
however, will invest in quality. But he does with with the anticipation of
profit in the future. All business runs on this cost/quality issue. In the
long run, if a manufacturer doesn't invest in quality, they are planning on
going out of business. Example: Weren't we all thrilled with 386 PC's.
Windows 3.0? Try to sell that kind of processing now. You can't give away a
386 computer. Walter Grabner

The Business model (Demming) of "constant, and never ending improvement" is
what makes the great Companies what they are (I don't know quite how
Microsoft fits in though ;). People hardly complain that they spent too
much on a good product - the opposite is always spoken of.
