Episode 7 - We talk about the current wave of new hardware bought about by Google, Microsoft and Apple. Microsoft and Google have famously been all about software, but that's changed significantly over the last few years. Microsoft and now Google have graduated to making their own hardware. Both companies traditionally licensed (or gave away) their software to run on devices made by other manufacturers. So why the move from software to hardware?
