Does this mean that when you only pay 50 EUR for one year you don't get security patches the next year? This would mean that Novell is even more expensive then Windows XP which costs 100 / 150 (professional) EUR and has at least 7 yrs of security patches support.
WinXP Home Edition cost 199 USD, Professional is almost impossible to buy today, Vista is 500 dollars. Get your facts straight But even so, for that money you get exactly nothing beyond the basic OS. No office package, no programs, nothing And you certainly don't get support For the money you pay for SLED, you also get free access to new versions when they're released. Good luck trying to get that from Microsoft (hint: without a massive license agreement, you can forget it) But if none of this is important to you, you're probably better off with opensuse.
