Well, I think we need to look first at (continuing to) attracting volunteer contributors and developers - what makes openSUSE attractive to those people? Second, what makes openSUSE attractive to Novell (I'm guessing we know the answer to that question), and then work towards that. If we can define a strategy that satisfies those two, we have the resources to cover number 3 - making openSUSE attractive to the newbie end-user.
I think that makes a lot sense. As for answering question two: First of all, growing Linux overall is something dear to our hearts, and that includes enthusiasts, students, significant others thereof,... in terms of users. Second, evolving the state of the art in Linux, both in terms of individual projects and the integration into a distribution is something we consider key. And third, it would be kind of hard to create an Enterprise distribution from scratch every couple of years. That's my quick, non-scientific five minute take.
