Why do you feel that they are screwing thier customers?
Being KDE focused distribution is probably why some customers have chosen SUSE in the first place. By far most of their existing users use KDE and prefer it. If SUSEs management is unwilling to accept this fact because they have emotional ties with Gnome, it's really sad. They are out of luck in this game. Not listening to your customers will usually kill any business, let alone SUSEs.
People are going to drop SUSE because the default Desktop (Not the ONLY desktop, just the default) is going to be changed? Are you kidding me?
If you read the article you will note that the GNOME predominance is for SLES and NLD, *not* openSUSE. Seeing that SUSE Linux (used to be SuSE professional) is based on OpenSUSE and therefore it too will still have a strong KDE backing as it used to have.
This is just a cheap trick to try to keep some customers, but it really is just a bunch of management jargon. Even ATI has claimed that they 'support' Linux for over 5 years now.
Oh the hell with ATI
