http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16017.html It seems to not mention whether it is a Personal or Professional version. Meaning is it $29.95 or 99.95 version? It doesn't mention apache or any server stuff only desktop.
If that is the case a would think of it as a price increase. There hasn't been a Personal version since 9.2. Recent notes from SuSE have mentioned a price cut. This is also the first "OpenSuSE" version. ==========
This will basically be the "Update" package, but listed as the Professional, thus their idea of a price cut. The Pro package was $89.95, so a $40 price cut. But, the update was only $59.95, same as this package but with the sources DVD included. In essence, it is a price increase, because there is only one manual, with the Admin included on the DVD in pdf & html form and it has one less DVD, the sources.
Disappoints me that the sources aren't included in this box, but the price is still $60! Looks like everyone is cutting back these days and charging more. :-(
Where does it say upgrade? The ad says a 44% price reduction, so I assume that means they're discounting the Professional price. Where are you getting the details of what's included?
