I have experienced mixed results. On my home computer, without network requirements, 8.0 works fairly well. I do have a problem with printer margins on my Canon 4300 not holding settings, cut and paste from Everybuddy to KMail doesn't work, import from Outlook Express to KMail doesn't work, and a couple of other anomalies ... but it is home and not mission-critical.

I have been critical of parts of 8.0 since it was released, but overall, I haven't had major problems except with the wireless PCMCIA stuff. 8.0 had the most significant changes to plumbing in SuSE that I've seen in any release and considering that, it could have been much worse. I use it for all my work and at home and it works for me. After 8.0 was up an running, I evaluated Red Hat 7.3 and Debian Woody on the same machine (different partition) and I find SuSE 8.0 superior to both. Does it stand up to Mac OSX? I don't know, I don't have a current Mac. My guess is that Mac OSX is more polished but less flexible and definately more expensive.
