    <p>When I bought the Samsung A5 S it came with all a lot of MS apps installed side by side with Samsung apps. One can disable the pre installed apps. but one can't uninstall them</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

    <p> On another note I don't understand what Paul is complaining. Having a device that does not work properly days or months after buying it its a bummer that is not in question. But after that if one faces bad or average customer service makes it even worst. That is what is valued when one gives 1 or 5 stars rating to customer service.</p><p><br></p><p>For instance. I had a similar problem with my SP3, it just would not start. It was a bummer. I needed I for work, the timing was bad. I called Microsoft, they answered the call promptly. Went to though all the testing process it was required even though I already had done it before … fine is protocol. They sent a someone to pick it up in the next day … After 3 or 4 days had a replacement at the door.</p><p><br></p><p>I would give them 5 stars considering consumer customer services such as the ones provided by Samsung. Acer, HP … so on and so forth. Some they even require you to go to the store you have bought it, leave it there …. etc etc etc. Happened before waiting for 2 or more weeks to get fixed since they would not replace it.</p><p><br></p><p>We don't have either a Microsoft Store or Apple Store in Portugal. But if I had an Apple Store here that provided the service that they gave to Andrew even if I had to wait an hour, or mark an appointment to a specific time on the same or next day … I would give them more than 5 stars in comparison.</p><p><br></p><p>PS: By the way, my SP3 touch stopped working even though pen input still works. It happened still under two year warranty, just a week before end (who we have here most countries in EU). First is a bummer, second is real bummer. So much so, was really tight for work than and decided not to sent it to repair as 4 days without a PC, plus all the trouble to reconfigure etc etc etc, would be more expensive than live with this particular problem.</p>
