Microsoft Exec Riffs On New MacBook Pro “Disappointment,” More People Switching From Macs

Microsoft CVP of Devices Marketing Brian Hall blogs:

“More people are switching from Macs to Surface than ever before. Our trade-in program for MacBooks was our best ever, and the combination of excitement for the innovation of Surface coupled with the disappointment of the new MacBook Pro especially among professionals is leading more and more people to make the switch to Surface…. It seems like a new review recommending Surface over MacBook comes out daily. This makes our team so proud, because it means we’re doing good work.”

At least it means that unlike Apple, Microsoft is focused on giving productivity oriented users the features and functionality they want and need.
