If you are saying nobody else had a problem updating their Asus then I would ask you how do you know?

No Ian I am not saying that.
What I am saying is updating from one firmware to another should be problem free. It happens and often it does not. It's where it does not that I am getting at.
On both my ASUS Prime TF201 and TF101 the ICS went as smooth as silk. As such I commend ASUS for delivering not only many, many updates but timely ones and one's that actually work without having any issues.
Granted there are those with the same machine which had issues but they were probably from a rooted device or one which had been altered.
Regardless, ASUS were and still are quick to sort out any issues.
In other words they are not leaving it to members of the forums to sort out why their machines are problematic. In fact ASUS have a couple of active support staff
(Gary Keys to name but one) on xda-devs who regularly contribute on ASUS matters. Gary has started four major topics himself.
Now, move on over to Samsung and you have a totally different attitude. They are a BIG outfit who think of themselves as the Android version of the Apple.
You do not get many updates, you are lucky to get the one and often it is not timely, nor do you have any active support from them.
In other words it is left to forum members to provide insight and recommendations to other fellow members.
Now when I made my first post you may have thought that post was directed at your good self, well it was not, it was directed at the general issues we all have to rely upon in having to sort out someone else's mess and that someone in this case is Samsung.
It annoys me no end when a developer expects you to purchase an expensive item but in turn does not provide that same level of service or commitment.
