Trying To Get Chris Pirillo To Move To The Mac

I’ve been trying to get Chris to the Mac for over a year now, and he’s put my latest attempt up on his site. I’ve received a number of emails commending me on my efforts, but a few pointed out something I’d not considered:
The guy is an absolute Windows icon. He can’t just up and defect like this. It would likely be extremely bad for business.
And when I say business, I mean the roughly $10K/month he makes from Google AdSense. Essentially, he’s been a known Windows expert since before 99.9% of people were on the Internet. He has a massive fan base. So no matter how cool OS X is he’s probably not going to switch due to the potential impact it may have on his income and Internet status.
And to be honest, I can’t say I blame him. I personally would still do it, but I can definitely see why he wouldn’t. Oh well…I’ll keep at it. When Leopard drops and makes Vista look silly, it’ll get a bit easier.
