I worked at Dell when he made that quote earlier about giving the money back to the shareholders. There was a lot of innuendo in that comment, for one thing he was pressed to comment, it was not something he offered freely, Mike is not really a loudmouth. Steve J had just shut down Power computing which was the Apple version of Dell, so Jobs, in doing that was kind of slamming the Dell model, and commodity hardware in general. At that time Apple had struggled against pretty much everything MSFT was doing. In 98 MSFT really was at its zenith, imho. It really looked like Apple was history, then. I heard somewhere that Mike changed his tune regarding apple a year or so ago. The point being, whatever Mike said in 98 is irrelevant now and I am certain any bad blood between Mike and Steve has passed. Dell loves intel more than msft too. Intel really made Dell.
