Countering Apple's Switch campaign, Microsoft has posted the 'Confessions of a Mac to PC Convert.' The switcher, who is unnamed, writes "I am a freelance writer; I demand the best in mobile computing. There's a much greater choice of portable computers and features, for less money, on the Windows platform. My laptop came with 512 MB of RAM, a 15" screen, a DVD player, and Windows XP Home Edition pre-installed, for $450 less than a comparable iBook. My recommendation is to go straight to Windows XP Professional; the extra features for mobile users are worth it." [MS has pulled the page, but it can be found here]

Unnamed? Hmmm...
...this rather smacks of MSFT's previously-documented petitions filled with signitures of non-existant people (and employees of either MSFT or the marketing company which ran the petition).
Not that there aren't plenty of people out there who've switched from Macs to Windows PCs (obviously), but I find it hard to believe any of 'em are happy enough with their choice to voluntarily submit their "story" to Mr. Gates & Co.
