Along with the other comments, this in not the correct comparison.
The compairable SuSE product is not SuSE standard or pro. It is SuSE Linux Enterprise. This has a different release cycle.

Its SO cheap compared to windows (any flavor).
I'm going to be controversial here and disagree with you. Time between Windows XP and Longhorn is going to be roughly 5 years at least. Price of an upgrade will be somewhere in the range of $125 dollars. In that time SuSE will have released ten releases (6 month release cycle). At a cost of $60 for each upgrade you're looking at $600.
And don't forget the obligatory applications upgrades - The last I heard from a friend of mine who works for the evil empire, the new filesystem is going to require upgrading EVERY APPLICATION YOU OWN, including office. And it still won't be as robust as ext3... Mike- (Who's had 9.3 on order for 30+ days and is trying to be patient...) -- Mornings: Evolution in action.
