all the more reason to keep the BS factor and smoke and mirrors stuff to a
minimum. The reason I continue to buy suse is the rock solid product , the
new two tone pricing structure does not make me happy. I have bought every
version since 5.3 most of them for $29.99 and am not happy with being hit
for M$ type pricing of 7.0 / 7.1

That and there new "strategy has turned off a LOT of LOYAL suse useres who
put them there.I seems that they want to go closer to the enterprise big
corperate customer and not there mainstay linux users of the past. If that
does contimnue , I will look into another distro , most likely Debian.

I am trully sorry for the layoffs , but to be frank , it comes as no surprise.
