Pyrex dishes can be used in the microwave, oven, and they can go in the dishwasher too. Some Pyrex ware can also be used on the hob burner!
I think it must depend on the age and design of the Pyrex bowl. The vintage designs such as 'Snowflake' can't be put in the dishwasher because the detergent and high temp will ruin the pattern and take off any gold finish that the design might have.

I presume the more modern types are fine to put in the dishwasher but I am always a bit wary with Pyrex as it can shatter at very high temperatures and when it shatters it can break into very tiny sharp shards (I used to think it was unbreakable). I don't know what the manufacturer claims.
Another thing to remember is that in hard water areas dishwashers can cause pitting in glassware, eventually causing the glass to look cloudy.
I reckon you could put a Pyrex bowl in a nuclear reactor and it'd come out in one piece!
