LOL

   http://www.extremetech.com/computing/147646-dell-sold-to-microsoft-silver-lake-for-24-billion-what-it-means-for-the-pc

   And then there’s the Microsoft link. At this point we can only guess at
   the true reason for Microsoft’s investment in Dell. Microsoft’s official
   statement is suitably vague: “Microsoft is committed to the long term
   success of the entire PC ecosystem and invests heavily in a variety of
   ways to build that ecosystem for the future.” $2 billion is a large sum,
   though, and it surely buys Microsoft something… but what exactly?

   . . .

   Maybe it’s down to patents — Dell owns a few thousand — or maybe it’s all
   about enterprise: Dell is big in business, and Microsoft could somehow
   ride on its back. Finally, the most obvious and boring option: Maybe
   Microsoft is simply trying to save one of the biggest PC OEMs. The bulk
   of Microsoft’s profits are from sales of Windows and Office, which in
   turn are installed on OEM PCs. Who knows, for $2 billion, maybe Dell
   agreed to stop installing shovelware so that new PCs are a joy to use and
   consumers actually look forward to buying them. Fat chance.

Make a wish, it might come true.
