Tomorrow, Ubuntu's second 'long-term support' release, 8.04 or Hardy Heron, will propagate its way through the list of mirrors. OSNews took a
short look at the beta release of Hardy Heron a few weeks ago, and concluded that
"All in all, this release packs some interesting new features and frameworks, some of which should have been part of any Linux distribution three years ago. It is quite clearly a beta though, and definitely not ready yet to be labeled as a 'long term support' release." In anticipation of the release, El Reg
caught up with Mark Shuttleworth in London.

As i understand it from testing the betas (as of yesterday), when you browse a windows pc with shares which are protected by a username and password, hardy doesn't ask you for login details, it just displays nothing. This worked in the prev version and will be fixed at some point with an update...
Not being able to view windows shares like this isn't the best for us who want windows users to try it out.
