Isn't this deal similar to Dell going private?

I can certainly imagine how it might not end well for a company that gets taken private, but I also think that trying to innovate and grow in such a competitive environment would be even harder if you have to worry about shareholders breathing down your neck.

Dell going private with it's original owner is very different than a portfolio company taking a company private.

Ah, yes, that's a good point.
