Michael,

It is all great pricing if you live in Germany or the USA but here in
Australia it is another matter. I'm not complaining about the pricing of your
products but how you are marketing the Upgrade Products. 

As SuSE are not allowing retailers to carry the upgrade product, regardless of
what you say we cannot buy the product here in Australia. Purchasing it from
either the USA or Germany is not on given the high postage rates which make
the Upgrade Product considerably higher than the Professional Version.

Why is SuSE not releasing the Upgrade product for resale here in Australia?

Regards,

Graham Smith
