In taking Dell private, we plan to go back to our roots, focusing on the entrepreneurial spirit that made Dell one of the fastest-growing and most successful companies in history.

What you need to keep most in the U.S. is the entrepreneurial spirit.

During the first half of fiscal 1998, demand remained solid. The top companies have been consolidating their market shares during this period, and Dell has emerged from this environment as a leader in market share growth.

You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream.

VMWare, as you know, remains a public company, and Secure Works is also a public company. And it's possible in the future that within the group, we could have other public companies.

People assume that the executive branch has more power than it actually has. Only the legislative branch can create the laws; the executive branch cannot create the laws. So, if the executive branch tries to create a branch one side or the other... you go back to the founders of the nation. They set up a system that ensures that it doesn't happen.
