There are so many logic lapses in this article that I don't know where to begin. Suffice to say that this scenario will not play out and this guy is CLUELESS (as many of his past articles have demonstrated.)

John is having a tough time letting go of his old Microsoft-centric view of the world. He's trying, he really is. Remember, he was one of the leading pundits of the Lintel world in the glory days of the 80's but when that shrivelled - outside of Microsoft - he basically became a nobody, along with Jerry Pournelle at Byte, the whole gang at PC Mag, all the rest of those guys, I can't even remember their names. John has actually done a better job of keeping his head afloat than most of them. One day soon, maybe he'll even get it.

Until then, you have to admit he provides fairly entertaining low comedy.

No, but I'll admit he provides quite useful bitbucket test data.
