2. Someone asked me over the weekend if this was just the beginning of PC-related buyouts. In short, no. For starters, this particular deal is much more about Michael Dell than it is about general private equity interest in personal computers (or in PC companies that want to transition into enterprise services companies). More importantly, what other large PC players could get taken out? Acer and Lenovo are too large, and Meg Whitman already scuttled Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) existing plans to spin off its PC business.
