Two things strike me right away: 1) Emphasis on business customers. 2) Demographics. Does anyone know anything about the market share of the SuSE allies in their areas of expertise? I understand that they each supplement each other to a large degree, but I have no idea as to how well the allies do in each their niche vis a vis their perceived competition. OK, regional division of labor according to strengths is good, but how large a market share does for example Conectiva have of the Linux market in the Spanish/Portuguese speaking world? More worrying (maybe) is TurboLinux market share or lack there of in Asia and how does that stack up country by country in a region that is far more linguistically diverse than say the Spanish/Portuguese speaking world?
