Dell's namesake CEO Michael Dell at the Web 2.0 Summit touched on his infamous quote from 1997 where he had said he in Steve Jobs' position would have closed Apple and given money back to shareholders. When asked about it, Dell claimed that the quote was "misstated" and that he would never have entertained the idea of running Apple himself. While he didn't outright deny the armchair advice, he noted that his company, like Apple was to Jobs, was the only thing that mattered.
