Microsoft Dell investment plans look up to $1 to $3 billion

Microsoft plans to invest about $1 to $3 billion in the expansion funding of Dell as the officials are in discussion. Dell intends to go private as reported by Bloomberg and was initially led by Silver Lake Partners and include Dell CEO Michael Dell and a special committee representing Dell shareholders. The company running publicly since 1988 is planning to sell out to private investors and is looking at a stock price of $13 to $14 or a total of $22 billion to $25 billion leveraged layout.

Both Microsoft and Dell have refused to give comments on the matter but the deal is expected to be finalized by the end of the week. Microsoft advancing with an increasing dependency on hardware in 2012 would be quite benefited by the Microsoft Dell investment especially after the launch of its Surface Tablet.
