Microsoft has succesfully targeted Mac users with its Surface commercials, as a report revealed that more people were switching from Macs to Surface recently.

According to Microsoft, people were switching from Macs to Surface because of the disappointment of the new MacBook Pro among professionals combined with "the excitement for the innovation of Surface."

The company termed November as their best month ever for consumer Surface sales, although it did not provide any sales numbers.

"The best buy-exclusive Surface bundle sold out on the first day. The momentum was seen worldwide. In the Britain, we had the best single week for Surface ever and in Germany the Surface Pen became the best seller in PC accessories on Amazon for over 12 hours," the company said in a blog post on Monday.
