What this means they want to concentrate their effort and manpower on the more lucrative Enterprise Edition. The community version will be aimed at Linux enthusiasts, not at the casual user at home who wants a Windows that has the name Linux. In short they have given up the idea of selling Linux as a replacement for users of Windows.
Hold on......NOT so fast. SUSE is VERY MUCH intent on displacing MickySoft on the desktop!!! You'll see some evidence in the next release confirming that, if what I've read and hear is correct. They're simply going to open things up to the community, quickly and efficiently so that solid stable development will happen sooner.......and better.
