7:15 AM EDT 		Dvorak's quote :

"First, it needs to face the fact that this entire preoccupation with the browser business is bad for the company and bad for the user. Microsoft should pull the browser out of the OS and discontinue all IE development immediately. It should then bless the Mozilla.org folks with a cash endowment and take an investment stake in Opera, to influence the future direction of browser technology from the outside in. Then, Microsoft can worry about security issues that are OS-only in nature, rather than problems compounded by Internet Explorer."

Dvorak continues on, noting that Microsoft could offer its customers a courtesy by including Firefox and Opera with Windows. He ends his tirade on IE by saying that Microsoft "will forever be plagued by its greatest blunder ever." http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2006/4/25/3748

Quoting:take an investment stake in Opera,


Oh please God no!... Let's hope this is just one of Dvorak's mindless 'prophecies'., and that MS doesn't pick up on it.

7:58 AM EDT 		John Dvorak has lived in his own little world for so long, he is almost completely seperated from reality.

He doesn't get open source, he pontificates in poorly uninformed ways about Macs, and is not very good at helping Windows users deal with understanding their systems.

He's been writing in the business a long time, but his understanding of the issues never seems to get any better.
