Yeah, that'll happen.

I heard Dvorak bloviating about this on the This Week In Tech podcast. I'm a Dvorak fan, but I gotta say, the idea that Jobs would throw off the elegant unix-based OSX in favor of the underdeveloped, indelicate, kludgy MS Vista is to me absurd.

Sheesh, even recent demos of Novell Desktop (a linux flavor) are more impressive than Vista.



I highly recommend, by the way, the weekly "twitcasts" available on thisweekintech.com. Patrick Norton, Leo Laporte, John Dvorak and others gather for an hour or so roundtable review of the week's tech news. Even the episodes with Wozniak are good.

What idiocy.

Get a load of this.

And Cheney gets a sex change. Just as likely, says I.

Must be a slow Apple news day...

The first thing everybody should realize is that Steve Jobs is a micromanaging, control freak. He'd never give up control of the operating system that ties in with Apple's hardware, and makes the whole shebang work.

(And any software publisher that pisses of Jobs is liable to find themselves bought out and their products incorporated into Apple's software, or buried.)

Hey, you are obviously a little quicker to the punchline than me, it took me six words, "A professor at Rutgers University thinks" to find all I needed to know.

[Swordmaker]

This is a hoot... PING!

My first thought at the 5 years comment was, Microsoft doesn't want to keep supporting it if Apple comes out with a full office suite. See IE for reference.

Not just any professor... that professor of psychology Yakov Epstein

I'll give up my OSX when they pry it out of my cold, dead Lampshade I-mac.

You don't even need to know the location or college, because it's a "professor of psychology".

Unfortunately, this was done by Dvorak to probably generate traffic, which generates advertising revenues. I see this all the time, unfortunately.

Posting something controversial and that has no chance of happening, and that is basically being done for traffic - you will see a lot more of this in the future. Right now people don't realize it for what it is.

Damn, they figured it out.
Last one out turn off the lights. I'm going to Disneyland.

Epstein's observations include the fact that the Apple Switch campaign is over, and "nobody switched;"

Apple sales have gone up how many percent? Millions switched.

I'm glad he's not a professor of marketing. Every ad campaign has its end. It's hard for Apple to play the underdog anymore with them being firmly on top of the mp3 player business to the point that "iPod" = "mp3 player" as much as "Band Aid" = "adhesive bandage strip." Now they need another angle.

[Terpfen]

What uninformed IDIOCY. Literally every "reason" cited is anything BUT a reason why Apple "might" switch to Windows.

I wish I could laugh at this, but it's just too pathetic.
