Apple needs to fix Samba issues NOW. In the developer release of Leopard that I recently tested, Samba is just as broken (and broken in the same ways) as the previous releases. How is it that every single modern OS except OS 10.x can properly connect to SMB shares?I can only guess that it is broken on purpose and will stay that way to prevent Apple from entering the "enterprise" market. Whatever. They love the higher ed market, which is very similar. They need to f**king fix Samba and I'll buy a Mac.
No really, I am typing this from a recent developer seed. It really is the exact same, old Finder, complete with all the old bugs (and new ones! yay!). They really did simply slap cover flow on it and call it new. Oh, and the "new" sidebar, which uses way more space and really isn't any more helpful than the old one.

A lynx is not a "big cat" though. That's odd. Maybe it'll just be a "medium" release ;)<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx</a>
