The following video is from Friday's Motley Fool Money roundtable discussion, with host Chris Hill and analysts Jason Moser, James Early, and Ron Gross.

In this segment, the worst-kept secret on Wall Street was made official this week. Dell (DELL.DL) is being taken private in a $24.4B buyout. The deal is being financed by a combination of Michael Dell himself, as well as capital from private equity, debt financing from some big investment banks, and a $2B loan from Microsoft (MSFT -2.41%). The guys discuss where this deal leaves Dell investors, and whether or not you should be scared if you own PC stocks.

It isn't just PC makers themselves that have been suffering; the companies tied to the industry have been hurting, too. It's been a frustrating path for Microsoft investors, who've watched the company fail to capitalize on the incredible growth in mobile over the past decade. However, with the release of its own tablet, along with the widely-anticipated Windows 8 operating system, the company is looking to make a splash in this booming market. In this brand-new premium report on Microsoft, our analyst explains that, while the opportunity is huge, the challenges are many. He's also providing regular updates as key events occur, so make sure to claim a copy of this report now by clicking here.
