Adam, You are right on the ball there. I complained earlier regarding this discriminatory practice and got nowhere. Seems if you don't live in a country where SuSE has a office, you have to wear the higher prices of the Professional edition.

What about us in Australia??

There is no upgrade path for us here in Australia, NOT everyone has the bandwidth to download 6 ISO's (bandwidth is still costly here) and the cost of shipping the upgrade from the states or europe is far more then the price to buy the new pro version ..therefore Australian customers are forced to purchase the new product As the upgrade.

Even then ..we still havent got the boxed product for 7 here yet ..the closest any SuSE Australian customers have got to version 7 is to look at the graphic on a website.

SuSE should offer upgrades through their resellers and/or setup a local mirror here if they want to maintain or expand their Australian customer base.

I promised news as soon as someone here told me what the deal was with the Upgrade Edition. This is all the info I have right now.
