PCWorld.com: Apple Makes a Pitch to Switch
PCWorld says there are rumors that the people in Apple's switch ads aren't real switchers, just actors. Well, I don't know about all of them, but I know one of the switchers, we've chatted in AIM about WebObjects in the past, and he's completely for real. If he's an actor, he's an actor who switched to the Mac.

Mark Fraunfelder (http://boingboing.net/markf.html) is one of the
switchers, and he certainly is not just some actor.
Fraunfelder described the whole process of how he came to be in the ads,
and due to union rules everyone who appears in the ads had to join the
Screen Actors Guild. I suspect that fact is the source of any rumors.
