John Dvorak sounds like a tech version of those economic & political loudmouths that spread definitive and absolute truths with very little evidence (Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter). That's because their purpose is not to generate light but to generate heat; to cause controversy instead of inform. It is the journalism equivalent of the Rolling Stones and Madonna: scandal as a marketing tactic. These people remind me of the Austrian writer Karl Kraus: "The secret of the demagogue is to make himself as stupid as his audience so that they believe they are as clever as he." The fact is that for almost all big corporations there is so much money, training and culture involved in MS platforms that a shift away from it is just to hard to do, unfortunatelly.
