Michael Dell back in CEO position

Dell has just announced that Michael Dell will return to the CEO position in Dell. It looks like a case of "If you want something done, do it yourself". Michael Dell was the CEO until 2004, he will replace the current CEO Kevin Rollins. Dell went through a rocky year in 2006 with battery issues as well a SEC look at their accounting practices.

Since the announcement earlier Dell's share prices has risen nearly 4% in after hours trading.
UPDATE: Shares are up 5.5% before market open
