I'm not looking for "the bad", I'm just commenting on *your* statements,
which I assume are right and can be considered as facts. Novell has zero
presence on Amazon EC2 according to what you said, and this is because
what Novell provides is "too new" to work there, whatever this means.

And why doesn't Novell take advantage of what it did too? Being bleeding
edge is OK, at certain levels, for open projects, but not for enterprise
products like SLE, which should *target* this kind of applications.

I don't have to give them a break, they should take a break from
themselves and from the idea that being bleeding edge at all costs is
good, trying to make things work. 
OpenSUSE is paying the price of this attitude, and the same seems to
happen to SLE, always according to *your* statements.
