John C. Dvorak is an infamous Mac basher and writer for PC Magazine. In a recent column of his titled “Me and My Mac”, John says he’s using a Mac and now recommends them to friends and neighbors.

John says,

I can see why the Mac is gaining market share, because the rationale for using one is simple. Do you want to deal with the agony of antivirus, firewall, antispyware, and other touchy software subsystems, many of which do not work well? Or do you want to boot Microsoft Word and write a document and be done with it?

Generally speaking, the interface is slicker than the PC’s, and you get the sense that the computer isn’t about to start acting weird because of some virus, spyware, or endless Firefox loading procedure going on in the background and killing all the cycles of the computer.

John has finally realized what Mac fans have been saying for years, it just works. He uses a word to describe Windows that I’ve been using for a long time, “hassle”. I find Windows to be full of hassles.

First you have Chris Pirillo (longtime Windows advocate) break up with Vista and switch back to XP, now you have John C. Dvorak recommending Macs! It’s not a good year for Windows fans.
