Dvorak Says Apple Move to Intel Will Harm Linux

Posted by Zonk on from the speculative-fortunetelling dept.

Deep Fried Geekboy writes "John C. Dvorak is pretty quick off the blocks with a response to the news that Apple intend to switch to Intel processors. Thankfully, he doesn't gloat about having called this one correctly, but says that the move is likely to hurt Linux, as OSS developers increasingly target the Mac. Since it now turns out that Dvorak was apparently not smoking crack when he predicted the Apple move, could he be right on this one too?"

    But even I know that Dvorak is an idiot. Like the cliche says, "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."
