Read the first line..."this is a great deal for me and..." Aside from the obvious emphasis on self, more felicitous grammarians would instruct putting 'me' after the other party, which in this case was private equity firm, Silver Lake. But hey, when you're the founder, namesake and chief equity holder who just orchestrated a billion dollar deal that removes public scrutiny then you can say and do whatever you want.
Fortunately, or unfortunately based on your point of view, obsession with self dominates leadership ranks. Dell makes a good case for Me, maybe the best anyone could make in the same context. It's still bad form, however, not to recognize others first who helped make the deal possible. Funny how there was no mention of Microsoft, which kicked in a couple $$$billion. Should be interesting to see where this deal goes from here.
