Servicing and supporting those machines has been the company's real cash cow. In the past year, however, Canon, IBM and German printer Heidelberger--which, ironically, purchased its technology from Xerox's old Rochester, N.Y., brother-in-arms, Kodak--have come up with a product to rival Xerox's.

For more than a decade, the powerful auto industry has successfully fought any efforts in Washington to publish a ratings system for measuring a vehicle's propensity to roll over. Detroit wasn't going to let some meddling bureaucrats potentially gut its sacred cash cow, the wildly popular and profitable sport-utility vehicles (SUVS).
