Will Dell Be A Comeback Kid?

After pushing out Kevin Rollins as CEO and grabbing the reins of Dell Inc. himself, Michael Dell has set about reviving the fortunes of the company he founded. He hired former AMR (AMR ) CEO Don Carty as CFO, and he has now brought in Solectron CEO Michael Cannon as president of global operations. Will Dell be a comeback kid?

You are taking back the company as CEO. How does it feel?

It's very exciting. I am 41 years old...and I believe there is a whole lot we can do. I have outlined some near-term priorities. We are looking to expand services. We are likely to do more internationally. We are looking at the next billion PC users [in emerging markets]. In about five or six weeks, I'll be in China to launch a special new product that appeals to the inexperienced PC user.
