Microsoft: “More people switching to Surface because of disappointment with new MacBook Pros”

According to a new Blog Post, Microsoft is claiming that more people are switching to their Microsoft Surface than ever before.  The quote reads:

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, like this. 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.

Of course, the blog post doesn't actually offer any stats or proof that this is the case, so people will have to take their word for it (yeah right).  The article that claims that the writer switched from a MacBook Pro to a Surface is also a writer for PCWorld.com.
