It is a fact that both Wacom and N-Trig digitizers have different sets of advantages and disadvantages. It is a fact that the Surface Pro 3 can't completely eliminate its chosen technology's disadvantages. I never claimed that the entire Surface product line was doomed to failure, after all, the world doesn't revolve around digital artists.

As a couple of people pointed out, Wacom has a major disadvantage as well. It really sucks that it loses its accuracy at the edges of the screen, but in spite of that I still find the experience far superior to using an N-Trig stylus. I have come to this conclusion after using many different devices with different kinds of digitizers over the last decade. I also frequent a few of the major online digital art communities, and they all seem to agree with me. Perhaps the N-Trig fans are just quiet, but I'm inclined to think the lack of representation is due to the fact that artists enjoy using Wacom products.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to be so childishly hostile. I wasn't aware that expressing an opinion in an anonymous online community where people gather to have casual conversations was frowned upon.
