We've got on here and I was surprised how much time I (not in IT, but sit near the Surface Hub) got wrangled into helping IT support this thing. The problem seems to stem from it being a phone underneath, in the OS (error messages will occasionally mention this). IT has trouble wrapping their head around that it is not a regular Surface, which they have rolled out boat loads of, successfully.
In addition, you can't really install anything on it, so it's tough / impossible to meet automated compliance checking (AV in place, etc.).
I guess this is really an IT group not trying hard to support it, but it was an eye opener to see the round peg / square hole thing going on.
Having said that, it's a nice whiteboard / Skype appliance. Nobody mentions the stand. It's built like a tank and finished really cleanly. Also would be nice if it weighed less. Smaller people really have to lean into it to move it.
