So actually Dell is going to have much less control of the company than he has now. Shareholders are patsies and CEOs are the guys who effectively control the board. Now that the company goes private he's going to answer to his lenders, and these guys are tough.

I'd imagine a guy who built a company into the size of Dell, and is personally the 41st richest man in the world, is tough as well.

Apparently, he's not tough enough to run a public company? (Playing devil's advocate.)
