Beautiful roses have deadly thorns
It is fair to argue that OpenSUSE is a very decent desktop (Novell's sins aside). That's just an objective assessment. Here is a standard desktop experience with Beryl, illustrated with OpenSUSE 10.2 and KDE.
There is nothing exceptional about the following video, but it probably shows a defect in OpenSUSE, which is unable to proceed with installation. No known cause is specified.
When you use SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, you help Novell.
Please, please please stop spreading this FUD Roy. When you use an OPEN distribution of Linux you help LINUX. It's called openSUSE for a reason. You're not "helping Novell" by using openSUSE any more than you're "helping" RedHat when you run Fedora. Would you say you're hurting RedHat by running CentOS? So along those lines of thinking everyone should stop running CentOS?

When a person runs OpenSUSE, he or she, as a potential system administrator, will be inclined to choose SLES/SLES for the enterprise. Moreover, there are bug reports, vanity figures for Novell, and upgrades (price-wise) to consider. We covered this before. A large OpenSUSE userbase is a great asset to Novell. Watch/follow the hyperlink above as well.
75+ KG of legal papers, 2 cases, 2 barristers (one hiding in the metadata) and maybe two law firms (also hiding in the metadata) against two modest people in Manchester seems disproportionate and vindicative
IBM basically laid off almost 1,000 people last week [...] At the moment about 75% of the 'articles' we see about IBM (in recent days) are some kind of slop
Very ill-prepared for the deteriorating situation caused by their clients' past behaviour towards many people, including high-profile figures who offered to testify
Last week IBM laid off almost 1,000 people in Confluent and the media didn't write anything about it, so don't expect anyone in what's left of the media to comment on Fedora's demise and silent layoffs at Red Hat
