Dvorak: Discontinue the Mac

paradesign writes "In an 'E-Mac, i-Mac, No Mac', John C. Dvorak makes the claim that the Macintosh should be discontinued. He adds, 'I'm not writing this column as a Mac basher to get attention, although plenty of people will accuse me of doing that.' Worth a read, but keep in mind where its published." I am not posting this as a Dvorak basher to make people realize he is clueless, although plenty of people will accuse me of that.

    John C. Dvorak has now confirmed: Apple is dying

    Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Apple community when recently Dvorak confirmed that Apple accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all computers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that Apple has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Apple is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Apple's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Apple faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Apple because Apple is dying. Things are looking very bad for Apple. As many of us are already aware, Apple continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. The eMac is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Fact: Apple is Dying

    BTW, anyone notice that googling for "BSD is dying" brings up BSD is dying? Interesting.
