I've had our several ATIVs too long to return, but I'm recalling them from the CxO executives. Samsung is clearly not up to the task of providing enterprise customers with enterprise support (technical details are in my earlier post). I do believe that someone in engineering who doesn't understand the business case for resolving this has just made a bad call. It's a case of simply needing to develop another method with which to determine a computer's eligibility to install Samsung software at the store. We all know that the way they're doing it now just doesn't work. National level Samsung directors are aware of this and don't seem to care. Oh well--especially without cool software like S-Note there are lots of other Windows 8 Hybrids to choose from. They're just nothing special without the value-added software.
I had a bad feeling but gave Samsung a shot at a piece of our enterprise computer business (we have nearly 15,000 Windows computers in the organization). I really want to get a Samsung TV for home, love my Note II phone and Galaxy Note tablet but primarily because of this ridiculous issue, these Windows 8 devices can't get out of my sight fast enough. I've spent way too much time trying to make this work and am done with Samsung in our organization. This has been such a pain I'm going to take a serious look at LG zero clients for virtual desktop clients. Samsung's is very good but so is LG's.
Good luck to all--I'm out of here.
