Ok. I'm just going to get this out of the way now that I have installed Milestone 8.

I am sick, utterly sick and tired of having to install the SAMBA packages and then punch a hole through the firewall with the Samba Server config tool in YAST2 just to make smbclient and network browsing on the desktop function. openSUSE has been doing this as default behavior for the last several releases.
Yes, I know how to fix it. All of us who are power users know how to fix it. But your average end-user has no clue on how to fix this. Many of them will simply say, "Crap, I can't get my network functioning. Maybe Ubuntu wont be broken"
Ubuntu, who is openSUSE's prime competition, has functioning SMB networking by default.
Ubuntu has no default firewall to begin with, so I myself feel more secure with openSUSE. Installing samba by default is something that is only done for GNOME so far, doing so also for KDE sounds easy to fix, but you're the first one to ask.
