Our buddies at TUAW have found that apparently PC Magazine columnist John C. “I hate everything” Dvorak is off his handle again.
Dvorak thinks Apple is going to trash Mac OS X for Windows in what could be “the most phenomenal turnabout in the history of desktop computing,” whatever that’s supposed to mean (search for the article at PC Magazine, if you really want to read it). Most of his ‘evidence’ is based on claims that no one’s switching over to the Mac, despite all of Apple’s buzz over the last couple years and the (disputed) “iPod halo effect.”
I like John a lot. I think he's great on TWit. But in cases like this one I think it's best to simply ignore him. All that the mac web has done today it play right into his hands.
Yeah, he hinted about this on TWIT and I actually rolled my eyes when he said it. He said something like "this guy has a compelling case for Apple moving to Windows." I understood that as "I haven't stirred up a controversy in a while, so I need to get the Mac users riled up."
Gotta say, Dvorak's a great read when I'm looking for something to rant about. This particular piece was just plain ridiculous. TMO had a good point-by-point rebuttal.
