[QUOTE="zeta101, post: 212040, member: 11173"] It seems a lot of people think that Dvorak just likes to make outlandish claims so lots of people to go and read his articles. The things you list aren't indications of apple switching to windows in my opinion. It's more of a case of apple meeting demand. There is no demand for apple hardware with just windows (and the death of OS X). Possibly the biggest selling point of paying that bit extra for a mac is that you get OS X, the second being the nice hardware and styling maybe (in my mind anyway). The only way he can be partially correct is if the next version of OS X (10.5 Leopard, due out the end of this year) includes built in software like the one made by the Parallels company (which lets you run windows or linux inside a window ontop of you Mac OS X desktop). But apple still won't have switched to windows, they will just be letting people run windows at the same time as OS X but with OS X as the "main" operating system and windows as a secondary one. It's always best to take the main stream media with a pinch of salt, they often get things wrong and like to make big sensationalist claims. Stick to forums for getting the real stories I say...
