What Normal Users Can Expect From Ubuntu 8.10

notthatwillsmith writes "With Ubuntu 8.10 due to be released in just a few days, Maximum PC pored through all the enhancements, updates, and new features that are bundled into the release of Intrepid Ibex and separated out the new features that are most exciting for Linux desktop users. Things to be excited about? With new versions of GNOME and X.Org, there's quite a bit, ranging from the context-sensitive Deskbar search to an audio and video compatible SIP client to the new Network Manager (manage wired, Wi-Fi, VPN, and cellular broadband connections in one place)."

WHY HAVEN'T THEY FIXED WINDOWS NETWORK BROWSING??

[Computershack]

Windows Network browsing is STILL BROKEN in Nautilus. They fucked it up in 8.04, as it was working in 7.10, and they've still not fixed it.
Also, the hard drive load cycle bug has only been half fixed. Why? They know how to fix it - people have submitted full fixes in bugtraq.

Fuck Ubuntu. Getting a bit pissed off with the shitty quality control they now have due to being hellbent on releasing every 6 months on the dot despite all the show stopper bugs.
