Dell just acquired EMC, the quiet giant of storage in a massive deal ($65B) at about 30% over pre-talk valuation. EMC's biggest asset is its 81% stake in VMWare - that stake alone is worth some $27B. EMC tried to get acquired by HP but they passed. (A little shy is HP in the lingering stink of the Autonomy acquisition and otherwise breaking up the co.; not adding to it).

That would put MS in a good position to put it down... -- teleportation kills

There are no many players in the disk storage industry. HP, through its acquisition of Digital (via Compaq) became a big player in the storage business. Merging EMC into HP would have meant the reduction of competition and would have likley been bliocked by the US and/or EU. An acquisition by HP would have wrecked the advantages EMC has because HP would have likely kept its own products. (keeping Digital storage over HP's worse storage was one of the exceptions).

Dell have been making servers for decades.

It's just part of the NW of EMC. If Dell paid $1 for EMC their stake in VMWare would still be worth $27B.
