An Infamous Cyber-Cynic Falls In Love With Linux 

    How do you know when Linux has gone mainstream? When one of the tech 
    industry's great cranky-pants pundits gives it a resounding thumbs-up.

    John Dvorak has been covering the tech industry for the better part of 
    three decades. When Dvorak sounds off on a topic, he pulls no punches; as 
    a notorious critic of all things Apple, he routinely baited MacUser 
    magazine readers with a column that rarely had anything good to say about 
    the company or its products.

    Dvorak is hardly infallible; back in 1984, for example, he slammed Apple 
    for adopting a newfangled gadget known as a "mouse." Yet he can also be 
    very open-minded, as he proved in 2007 when he reversed his opinion of the 
    Mac in what he declared a "sad day for Mac bashers."

    In any case, you don't have to agree with Dvorak to recognize that he is 
    nobody's fool. In fact, he's about as hard-headed and as resistant to fads 
    as any IT journalist working today. And that's why his current ode to 
    desktop Linux is worth taking seriously.
