Along with the other comments, this in not the correct comparison.
The compairable SuSE product is not SuSE standard or pro. It is SuSE Linux Enterprise. This has a different release cycle.
Err.. To me Longhorn is the next release of Windows XP Home/Pro, so SuSE Pro (standard is dead) is the comparable product. If I'd talked about 2003 Server or the Data Center edition then I'd agree to compare with Enterprise.

Its SO cheap compared to windows (any flavor).
I'm going to be controversial here and disagree with you. Time between Windows XP and Longhorn is going to be roughly 5 years at least. Price of an upgrade will be somewhere in the range of $125 dollars. In that time SuSE will have released ten releases (6 month release cycle). At a cost of $60 for each upgrade you're looking at $600.
