Michael Dell Steps Down as CEO

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the corporate-musical-chairs dept.

A whole lot of readers made sure we knew that Michael Dell is calling it quits as CEO of Dell, and has named Kevin Rollins, the current president and chief operating officer of Dell, as his successor. Rollins will retain the title of president, but Michael Dell hasn't left completely. He's still planning on sticking around as chairman of the board.

    I don't think this will change anything in the world. Unlike Eisner stepping down, it won't change shit.

    Mr. Rollins has my full support, and I wish him well in his new career. I thought he was really good in Johnny Mnemonic, much better than Keanu Reeves (the current CEO of Hewlett Packard).

    Can we please get Dell servers with AMD64 procs now? Please?

    American CEO's are too expensive. In India you can get one who has a professional college degree and will work for a measily 80k a year!

    What value to our shareholders will an American bring over an Indian one? We should maximize value and bring in Indian ones. We can increase productivity by record numbers!
