    Did you bother to read the topic of this article?

    Microsoft Says More People Are Switching From Macs To Surface Than Ever Before

    The new MBP has a lot of people looking at going to Windows 10

    Prove it.

    those I know that are heavy users of Wacom tablets are definitely considering Surface but it has a lot of the same downfalls as the new Macbook "pro" - 16gb ram, poor port choice, not the greatest keyboard, etc.

    So basically the entirety of your "proof" is a couple of anecdotes.

    When I point out to the Mac users in my universe that I could get them a Dell or Lenovo with 32 or even 64GB ram and a better CPU, more storage and better I/O port selection for a few hundred less than a new MBP, they tend to start thinking about how they could move their workflows to Windows or Linux.

    Such as which specific model Dell or Lenovo?

    MS isnt really winning any business here, Apple is throwing the business away!

    Clearly. That's why Apple is saying their newest model is selling faster than any previously. Must be all that business they are "throwing away".

    But they disn't actually tout numbers. They're not releasing them because they know the "better than ever" numbers are likely miniscule.

    For the same reason it's not moral for me to take the Linux 0.9 source code and turn it in to a proprietary product even though it's long obsolete and most of the code was probably rewritten years ago in modern versions of the kernel. Just because I want to do something does not make it legal or moral.

  17. Stating a fact is flamebait? lolwut? Owning a game does not give you a license or right to download a second copy from the Internet. Just like I don't have the right to download the Beatle's White Album from The Pirate Bay simply because I own the LP.

    Let me guess, the person who modded me down probably also thought adding that "if you're law enforcement you can't to my FTP/DCC server" text held any legal weight?

    Silly AC. "Information wants to be free" only applies to proprietary software not GPLed code.

  19. Of course, there are moral concerns here, as you are often downloading the games illegally -- unless you own the physical copy, that is.

    Owning a physical copy does not make downloading a ROM legal. There's no statutory or case law to back up this silly and oft-repeated claim.
