How does Novell/SuSE expect market share to increase with such a glaring omission? I can understand leaving it out of OpenSUSE.
They aren't Microsoft and can't screw anyone into taking it.
The average Windows-using retail customer is just going to walk away. This is the retail box we're talking about. They should pay whatever fee they think is necessary to make it legal and raise the price to cover it. The same with DVD support.
That's an idea I'd support.
I have been purchasing and using the retail boxed set since version 6. The retail box lacking DVD support was bad enough. Now that they don't even include mp3 support, and with the recent Gnome-centric plans for the future, I am seriously considering dropping SuSE. Recently as I stood in CompUSA holding the version 10 box in my hand, I sadly put it back on the shelf and left.
The "Gnome Centric" crap has passed and almost every Linux news page has had the article saying they dropped the plans when everyone got pissed.
