Microsoft Says More People Are Switching From Macs To Surface Than Ever Before (theverge.com)

Microsoft has been targeting Mac users with its Surface commercials recently, and it appears they might be paying off. From a report on The Verge: The software giant claims that November was the "best month ever for consumer Surface sales," following a number of Black Friday deals on the Surface Pro 4. Microsoft still isn't providing sales numbers, but the company claims "more people are switching from Macs to Surface than ever before." Microsoft cites "the disappointment of the new MacBook Pro" and its trade-in program for MacBooks for tempting people to switch to Surface. Again, Microsoft refuses to provide numbers but vaguely claims "our trade-in program for MacBooks was our best ever."

    3) No apps available and those that actually are available, are outdated and unstable.
    4) Endless bugs

    Microsoft + anything = problems eventually arising. Perhaps all these people have too little excitement in their lives?
