Governments Preparing To Bail Out DRAM Makers

An anonymous reader writes "DRAM makers are facing one of the worst downturns in their history and governments around the world are lining up to help companies through the mess. Taiwan, Germany and South Korea all appear poised to offer some assistance to their DRAM chip makers. The chip makers' problems are indicative of global woes. Easy lending terms and a bright view of the future prompted them to build too many new DRAM factories. Much of the new output was aimed at Microsoft's Windows Vista, which has higher memory requirements than XP."

Yes but Americans didn't have to buy those Bricks known as SUVs, did they? Had Americans continued buying Dodge Shadows and Neons and other efficient cars, then Chrysler would have focused priority on those items.

But that's now what happened. Instead Americans grew tired of their econo-cars and started demanding big SUVs, making SUVs the top seller.

Businesspeople only do what their customers demand.
