Comment 112 for bug 207072

Me too.

After the fantastic performance of Gutsy I stuck my neck out and said the Linux desktop, with all the advantages of open source and collaborative technology, was now suitable for my workplace.
The various problems with Samba access have set back my credibility as well as the idea of client Linux systems. The only good news is that I froze everybody else on Gutsy, and have stopped any new installations. So people can still see how good it can be.
It is a real shame to see something so right develop into something so wrong that then takes so long to get right again. And the fact that something can go wrong so permanently leaves end users worried that they cannot rely on Open Source brands.

Apologies for putting this on the bug thread - but however and wherever it went wrong, you guys and gals are the ones who can mend it - or get it mended. Thank you for being there, and for the work you do.
