That's my question. Do you think Microsoft should release their own line of PCs like Apple? Their mice and keyboards are pretty good xD

Microsoft makes excellent hardware for PC, xboxs and also now his new cellphone, I think it has excellent relations with manufacturers and attend to the needs of both manufacturers and users.

Maybe soon enter the market for a tablet PC or TV.

xbox does not make hardware... they just have branded hardware... the xbox was made vastly by IBM.

I think it would take their focus away from OS's.

MS dont make Hardware btw, they just brand it.

It's actually called Microsoft because they make SOFTware for MICROprocessors.

Yes and no. would they have a better product if they did? good possibility, but if they did that they would hurt their business because they depend on their partners (oem's) for business. and even though it would make for a potentially great product it would hurt Microsoft because of how they have their business set up.

Nope. Never. MS can't stand on their own feet competing against software - remember they were King back in the day. Now, if they enter the market with huge players already out there, their ass gets bust and they'll get screwed big time.

I hate to break it to you, they still are the king... they have the number one used operating system and office suite, no one has ever sold as many copies. So to say they cant compete with software is kinda a lie coming from ignorance or a strong bias.

First it would take an extreme change to the companies structure to do it and their is little to no profit in the PC Hardware industry. I also think that Microsoft would be making a LOT of enemies in the PC industry. If they did I think that Apple could release their OS to official resellers (HP, Dell, others) and a LOT of them would jump ship and start putting OS X on their boxes just to spite MS.

I think they should do it.

Think about that! Everyone including you has an unique computer and Microsoft has to handle all these systems' performations... They're wasting their time with making their OS available with huge variety of systems and their hardwares. I believe they can do their operating system 2-3 times faster and better with making their own line PC's. They can focus more on updates, performance improvements, softwares and too much things... That's the way why apple is very successful!

A better question is why not? I mean, Apple is kicking pitutie, so why can't Microsoft do the same?

No, that's not how they make their money. They make money when someone pays them to build a computer with their hardware parts.
