This article compares installation, features, security, costs and ease of use of OpenSUSE and Vista.

One of the most remarkable points is that OpenSUSE supports more hardware than Vista at the moment. The first big difference is the system requirements, being substantially lower for OpenSUSE than for the Windows operating system. Because of these and many other points, the author of this comparison sees a much brighter future for OpenSUSE than for Vista.
Like any idiot would actually use Vista. I tried it just for kicks and laughed so hard at the pathetic nature of Vista. I couldn't believe MS would make an OS worse than XP, but they've managed.
/me shakes head at the sheep planning on downgrading to Vista
The article's author cites the new Aero UI as the big ticket selling item. Odd, what's wrong with 2k's UI in an enterprise setting? Do I really need eye candy when setting up boundary curves in my Cam-Software or do I need a fast accessible file system and good cpu performance?
What about the fact that for Enterprise style people, they don't like upgrading hardware? I know for sure some places still run NT because they don't want to upgrade the hardware for 2000 or XP? Does someone who does nothing at work but type up memos and maybe run an email client REALLY need a machine that is capable of running Doom3 just to do this? No. Do I want Microsoft knowing this? No. They don't need to know. Let them set near pysychotic requirements, and let people realise even the newest version of SUSE can still run on older hardware. -Allen
