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.""

Now that they are on the Intel platform, if they switched to Windows, they would become just another Dell, HP/Compaq, etc. Also, all of their loyal customers and developers would probably just bail on them for doing so. Not a very good business plan.
