I can't be more excited by this news. Michael Dell is in a pretty unique position to do something innovative in the PC industry.
Remember when Dell told Steve Jobs that he should close shop? http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-203937.html http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-203937.html
Your turn, Michael.
Let's see if you can turn Dell around like the way Steve Jobs turned Apple around!
- ajb 14y agoI'm less excited. Think about it: what would it take for a startup to buy servers from Dell again, rather than renting them?
- jmduke 14y agoI'd argue that Dell has the strongest brand out of all of the Windows OEMs. I think they'd be in a good position to take a few short-term losses and pursue establishing a position similar to Vizio's: a high-end manufacturer. That, coupled with their experience in B2B could absolutely revitalize their company.
- RandallBrown 14y agoIsn't Vizio a low end manufacturer? Their TVs certainly are. I've never seen one of their PCs though.
- schraeds 14y agoThe strongest brand in a post-peak industry with new contenders every day. Also, the Dell brand isn't a Coca-Cola or BMW, it is not all roses. Also, shouldn't the title be Dell buys itself for $24b?
