Robert Scoble Switches To The Mac

So for those of you who are into blogging you’re probably all aware of Robert Scoble, a former Microsoft employee who became popular by bringing blogging to that company for the first time.
He’s famous for being highly biased towards Microsoft, but now that he’s left it seems his exposure to the “real world” has caused him to see things differently. In a blogpost titled, “I love my new Mac (list of cool utilities from Twitter)“, he says this:
I just switched my life over to a 17-inch MacBookPro. Don’t worry Microsoft fans. I still have Vista and Office 2007 loaded too.
He didn’t say he’s trying it. No. He “switched his life over” to it. And he just referred to those left behind as “Microsoft fans”. Think about it: Robert Scoble is keenly aware of all the available technologies out there — especially those from Microsoft. And if he made found the Mac to be better then there’s probably something to it, don’t you think?
Is this proof that Mac is better? No. Is it a good indication that anyone refusing to look at Mac is probably doing themselves a disservice? Yeah, I’d say so…
