Dell CEO: Windows 8 was a dud, Windows 10 a positive step

Michael Dell, CEO of computer manufacturer Dell, thinks Windows 10 is a positive step after Windows 8, which according to Dell, was a "dud". According to Dell in an interview with Business Insider the PC market is also far from dead, "It turns out the PC isn't dead. There are 1.8 billion of them out there, Dell said, "and a big percentage of them are more than four years old."

The end of Windows 95 (he probably means XP) last year gave a boost to Dell's revenue and Dell expects that Windows 10 will gave the PC market a similar impulse. Dell thinks there's no big future for Chromebooks, although the company sells them as well. The cheap laptops from Google are especially popular in niches like education but will never become a mainstream product, according to the Dell CEO. He compares Chromebooks to netbooks which were also popular for a while but are now pretty much forgotten.
According to Michael Dell his company is doing well after it left the NASDAQ is 2013. "It is a wonderful relief to be private after 25 years as a public company", Dell said. "The administrative hassles and costs are much less, and you have far greater flexibility. You don't have to react to daily volatility and repricing, and there's less distraction, so you can focus on your business and team."
