Hi Nick,
I can see just about everyones point on this thread: The price is too high, SuSE needs our money to continue, etc. . . I really want to upgrade to 7.3 and support SuSE, but at $50 for the upgrade it's more than I paid for 7.2 Pro. I really wouldn't mind if it were a REAL upgrade, but unless I'm missing something there are little improvements in SuSE 7.3. So you get KDE 2.2.1 (which I have installed anyway), kerenel 2.4.10 (which I have), and the ability to use yast2 for LVM configuration, which works after the YOU update . . . I know there is more, but that is what jumped out at me as *cool* upgrades (cool games too, but you can download them all . . . ).
Exactly my point Nick! $150 a year or more so that we can keep the latest goodies we already have probably downloaded for free seems kinda odd. Granted it's a lot more convenient to get them on DVD or CD's, but $150 (for three releases per year) is a whole lot for some convenience that quickly wears out as new stuff comes out. It would be really great if SuSE would come out with a "real" upgrade as you put it, so it's existing customers didn't end up paying more for an upgrade then they would if they went to the store and bought the pro version. -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
