excerpt
"I won. It's over," the normally low-key Dell said in a rare, extensive interview here last week. "I feel liberated and unleashed. There is an infectious feeling with winning."




As victories go, this one was historic and gut wrenching. Dell took his company private in a $25 billion deal last October after a bruising, year-long battle with activist investor Carl Icahn. The showdown was essential to the survival of the company, Dell insists, after it embarked on a shape-shifting mission to diversify into data centers, cloud computing, servers, software, services, security and system management.


There is a cost to being public true you do support the financial world but sometimes once the publics exuberance is over you get a hang over you will never forget. The cause of that migraine is hands ,fingers and feet in the pie so much SEC stuff and a very different kind of creativity. Problem of course cost control versus quality control and basic stuff like how to reinvent ends up as can't afford the overtime.

I have much respect for Mr. Dell
