Well, yeah, except that Dell was right, in 1997, about what to do with Apple as a company that made computers.
Of course, it turned out that shifting their core business model from making computers to making gadgets was an even better idea.
That was then - this is now; past performance is not indicative of future performance; we all remember the correct predictions and never the incorrect ones.
I can think of only a couple of reasons why Dell would do this:
1. His own vanity/this is HIS baby. 2. He has an idea on how to turn the company into a cash cow (i.e. no growth to make Wall Street happy) but never the less, it will continue to give him and his children returns that he couldn't get elsewhere. 3. He's got something really radical up his sleeve that no public company in their right mind would go along with.
I beg for #3
