But with a Mac, if I find I don't like the OS X ecosystem, I can always install Windows and be done. I get to enjoy my laptop and the ecosystem I want. I can't do the opposite with a Surface.

How about installing Linux on it? (I am curious to know if that's possible because I'm considering to buy the Surface to put Linux).

I wouldn't recommend it, the Desktop Environments lack decent HDPI support, and Touch feels cumbersome.
