The article is pretty slim on content. The question was whether he had considered taking Dell private at all recently, to which he simply said "Yes" and nothing more. I wouldn't be surprised if it were to happen, considering Acer just passed Dell as the world's second largest computer maker.

If he did, I'd have to admire him for (at least partially) taking his own advice ("I'd... give the money back to the shareholders").
