Dvorak Lunacy


How is it possible that someone like John Dvorak has been writing a nationally-published computer column for decades when he produces such totally indefensible intellectual fluff?

Will Apple Adopt Windows?

Bigger companies than Apple have dropped their proprietary OSs in favor of Windows—think IBM and OS/2. IBM also jumped on the Linux bandwagon over its own AIX version of Unix. Business eventually trumps sentimentality in any large company.

Has Dvorak ever met anyone who uses a Mac, or seen one, or used one himself? Running Windows on Apple hardware is like… is like… well, I’ve already said it.

Windows. Seriously. Running Windows on an Apple machine is like going to Morton’s and asking for A-1 sauce.

It’s like painting “Hello Kitty” on your Ferrari.*

It’s like drawing a feces mustache on the Mona Lisa.

It’s like mixing Coke in your 1787 Chateau Lafite.

It’s like asking John Wayne Gacy to babysit the kids.

I’ll stop now. But really… it’s a bad idea.

* (Good Lord, I didn’t know that someone had actually done that until I Googled it.)

It would be like having Dvorak write a column for your nationally published computer magazine.
