Dell World 2015 is in full swing and although Michael Dell was lambasted by Analysts/Press/Bloggers/etc regarding the EMC acquisition, plus his hands legally tied due to the 60 day "gag-order", he tackled the 40 minute session with relative finesse. Here is a high-level of what Mr. Dell had to say:
My biggest take-away, and frankly all the Dell people we talked to afterwards, is that Dell is very bullish on everything. I personally am excited to see how this evolves and encourage all of you to keep an open mind and a keen eye on upcoming EMC + Dell announcements.
