The Wall Street Journal had a front-page article last week about the
competition between Intel and Motorola for CPU sales.  It concluded
that Motorola had been soundly trounced by Intel due to Motorola's
emphasis on quality.  While Motorola delayed shipment until the part
was defect free, Intel captured the market with imperfect parts.  As
compensation, Motorola won the Baldridge quality award.

The situation in the software industry is analogous.
