My SP2 overall was much more stable to use. Kinda wishing I'd kept it.

It was my fault. I had an old proprietary piece of software that didn't play well with Windows 8. It had nothing to do with the Surface. I apologize for getting all flustered about my experience, but when you add this to the wifi and other issues (which seem to have been solved) it just got the best of me. Since removing the culprit software I have been fine.
+1 for Drawboard PDF. It opened my pdfs just fine and it has many good features. Also Pen/Touch friendly which is nice.
I agree that the Surface line has its share of problems, and I think that the SP3 is moving in a wrong direction, but I think that these are unfair comments. The Chrome issues are Chrome issues not surface issues. Chrome is just not the best browser to use. It s a battery hog and has issues with high DPI screen. IE is easiest on the battery, but I just can't stand it. Firefox is not quite as efficient but it is pretty good and works quite well on the Surface.
I agree. These topics can useful for people in deciding whether the Surface is suitable for their particular uses. No one should take offense at, and threads shouldn't be close for comparing the Surface to other products
This is just unfair. Forums such as this are not just for owners of the device, but also for prospective purchasers. I like the idea of the Surface Pros (and own an SP1 and SP2), but MS has stumbled in their execution. I think that MS's obsession with chasing the iPad form factor is detrimental to the brand requiring too many tradeoffs.
I really don't know if MS monitors communities such as this, but I would hope MS will come to understand the issues preventing many from upgrading to the SP3 and work to rectify them. I would like to think that the MVPs are not only advocates for MS products, but also have MS's ear and could relay the concerns of prospective purchasers back to MS - perhaps that is just naive...
Macmee - This thread is about an application that froze the OS, I will allow some tangential conversations but this line of debate helps no one and does more to degrade the community. We're seeing this same behavior in multiple threads from multiple members. If you want a dedicated thread for MBA vs. SP3 start one, use the word OPINION or DEBATE in the title, at least that way people know what they we'll be reading....
