(As Russ noted above, we are actively pursuing services-oriented acquisitions.) Michael Dell, knowing that related-party interests existed, recused himself from the process. Our board also took steps to ensure the transaction was handled and approved objectively and independently. Michael and Susan Dell have said that the proceeds that they and their children’s trust receive from the acquisition will be donated to charity.

I can see the idea of a nepotism thing but I also know the service jives with the overall approach by Dell to compete in services against it's competitors like HP.

Gov is where the money is... this gives them a rollodex of new (profitable) contacts.
