PALM DESERT, Calif. (CNNMoney) -- If visionary technology company founder Michael Dell could start up a business all over again, where would he do it now?

One word: China.

"I would go to China at age 19 and start my company there. It's a much better environment," said Dell's (DELL, Fortune 500) CEO in a conversation with Charlie Rose at Ernst & Young's Strategic Growth Forum in Palm Desert, Calif.

Dell is not a high tech co. PC mfgs assemble complex high tech chips, with crap Windows onto cheap commodity boards. But they don't make the chips or do anything leading edge. PC mfgs are similar to outhouse mfgs. Unix servers on the other hand are made by hi tech firms.

Aren't the designs of PC hardware boards open sourced in Verilog and available for free download ?

I am sure no one will miss Michael Dell if he leaves to China. At least not those who have to work with crappy DELL computers day in/day out.
