Mula - Re: "I would think there are better investments to be made rather than satisfy one's ego."

NEVER underestimate the foolishness that people will do to satisfy their own ego.

Witness Eckhard Pfeiffer - the fired & disgraced ex-CEO of Compaq who did his best to stick it to Intel.

Witness Bill Gates & Steve Ballmer - and the MESS they got Microsoft in with the DOJ (and compare it to Intel's low key SETTLEMENT with the FTC).

Re: " Also this is what made Dell become what it is today."

My take is that Michael Dell has suppressed any EGO he has to make some very sound business decisions.
