Why do you feel that they are screwing thier customers?
Being KDE focused distribution is probably why some customers have chosen SUSE in the first place. By far most of their existing users use KDE and prefer it. If SUSEs management is unwilling to accept this fact because they have emotional ties with Gnome, it's really sad. They are out of luck in this game. Not listening to your customers will usually kill any business, let alone SUSEs.
1) Is it mentioned anywhere that SLES and NLD will *NOT* include KDE anymore? 2) Are you talking about SUSE or SLES or NLD? 3) What does the article say about OpenSUSE (Sounds like questions for the comprehension tests we had ages ago in school) Just becuase KDE is not the option with the tick next to it by default does NOT mean that KDE is not supported anymore, and I have not read anywhere that anybody from SUSE or Novell mentioned that they will stop including or supporting KDE anymore on any of their products. People from SUSE can maybe cofirm this.. It looks to me that people have read half a word and made 1000 or thier own assumptions without reading any further or thinking about what the article says and came to the conclusion that SUSE and Novell is abandoning KDE. Maybe people need to do a bit more of those comprehension tests we had in school. :-) -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
