Mac OS X Noted PC Magazine columnist John C. Dvorak was one of the first to predict the release of Boot Camp. His prophesizing continues in his lastest column. "A cloud is rising over Mac OS X and its future unless Apple makes its boldest move ever: turning OS X into an open-source project. That would make the battle between OS X and Linux the most interesting one on the computer scene. With all attention turned in that direction, there would be nothing Microsoft could do to stem a reversal of its fortunes."

"I have been writing software for 15 years now and you can not tell me that open source software, written by a bunch of kids in many cases, is going to be superior to a well managed, well documented, standards adhering, corporate code base."

Huh? I haven't been writing software for 15 years, but damn, that made absolutely no sense. And are you really trying to tell me Ubuntu or SUSE did not automatically detect your video card?
