Apple to 'Switch' to Windows?

JFlex writes "PC Mags writer John C. Dvorak discusses the idea that Apple may dump OS X and 'switch' to running Windows in a recent column: "The idea that Apple would ditch its own OS for Microsoft Windows came to me from Yakov Epstein, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University, who wrote to me convinced that the process had already begun. I was amused, but after mulling over various coincidences, I'm convinced he may be right. This would be the most phenomenal turnabout in the history of desktop computing.""

    remember this is Dvorak.

    He Claimed up until the Day they announced it that Apple will never do a Video Ipod.

    Hell Dvorak did not even go to CES and yet he still wrote about it.

    No, no, that was Steve Jobs. :)

    Dvorak has a reality distortion field too, but he's got it on backwards, so it only distorts reality for him, obviously.

    Make wild, unfounded claims on scant, irrational chains of thought no would dare call "logic."

    Publish it.

    Get people talking about what a moron you are and how absurd your predictions are.

    Collect your royalty fees and advertising revenue from all the page hits your absurdity got. In other words, Profit!

    Here's my prediction: Underpants Gnomes to hire Dvorak as their new business consultant.
