How is this flamebait?

In 1997, when Apple was at it's worst, Michael Dell puffed out his chest and said he'd give the money back to shareholders.

12 years later, Dell is in a situation that's just as bad and I'm not supposed to even mention it?

Michael Dell's statement stands as one of the most important moments every Apple fan remembers in the long-running Mac vs. PC wars, and on the day that their share prices started plummeting and analysts started saying stay away, I'd be remiss in not mentioning that the company that was once telling everyone else how crappy they were doing is now doing just as crappy.

The irony is too good not to post.
