Yeah these numbers definitely seem fake to me. I would bet my house that at no point in the future will 21% of Windows users switch to Mac.
I mean, if 21% of Windows users became Mac users that would usher in a very real revolution in the Mac platform because suddenly Apple would, for one thing, most likely actually invest seriously in developing Mac!
But that's not happening because there's no way 21% of Windows users are going to switch to Mac, because Americans would sell their mother for a lower sticker price. People are only willing to pay money for things you can show off, like cars and clothes and phones. A laptop or desktop computer is possible to show off, but it's not something you drive around in, wear, or hold in your hand all the time.
- mikeash 9y agoI suspect a lot of people want to switch to a Mac when they're at home idly thinking about it, but give up the idea instantaneously when their money is on the line.
- linkmotif 9y agoYeah, my thoughts exactly re: these alleged 21%. I don't know many people, so my sample size is extremely small, but I don't know anyone who's on Windows and wants to switch to Apple. All Windows people I know resent Apple and think it's stupid. I only know people who want to switch away from Apple, as is the majority of the comments on this thread.
