Why would you say that? He likes it, and he's given good reasons for why he does. His wife likes it, I can understand the reasons why she does as well.
You disagree with him, but you've given no reasons for it... Mr. Anti Microsoft drone.

As a developer, I still wouldn't buy the device. Partly because it's on the upper end of my budget, but for the most part because of the downsides: heat, lack of serviceability, and most of all I think the compromise that has to be made ie: not being able to use the keyboard while on the lap, is a deal killer. There are cheaper portable machines which are better for developers.
Gaming community has a lot less MS hate than other communities as well. Since you have to play Halo et. all if you want to have covered all the famous works, and they had the first good online community, etc..
Not using keyboard on lap is the biggest deal breaker for me, too. Waiting to see how some of these Asus clam-shell convertibles turn out, like that Asus Vivo Tab: http://www.asus.com/vivo/en/vivotab.htm
(But want something more spec'd like the Surface Pro)
That is why it is dangerous to draw conclusions from small sample sizes, and why useful samples need to be random. Your website does not attract random people, so it is not an accurate sample. Opera usage varies massively by country for example, is your website available in Czech? If not, your sample will self select to have fewer opera users.
That's what I use to get from Mozilla forums. Then I moved the company off of any Mozilla tools since we could get help on our issues. Been almost 10 years back, so not sure if it's still the case.
