As usual, John C. Dvorak’s articles are abrasive yet stimulating. His article this week inherently bashes Apple’s game plan yet simultaneously giving the good ol’ pat on the back for something Apple probably isn’t really doing.

Please read his article: Apple on the Brink.

The premise is that Apple is “brain-dead” for not wanting to release OS X into the entire x86 jungle; yet, he opines, that is not what Apple really intends to do, and that, instead, Dvorak sees Apple’s bluff in his crystal ball.

And it really is a fantastic concept he has forecasted. I thoroughly enjoyed indulging myself in the unfolding of events that he described. As much as I would like seeing it happen the way he described, and as clever as Jobs et al have been of late, I find it very difficult to believe that the scenario that Dvorak has described is even remotely close to the truth. Frankly, I don’t think that he does either. Beware: This pat on the back is likely a slap in the face, if only we had turned around to pay attention.
