Hi Everyone, I never got this straight, and so I was hoping someone "in the know" might be able to clarify...
SuSE 6.4's MSRP is $49.95, and commonly retails for about $29.95. With this in mind, would the new packages retail as below?
Personal (MSRP $39.95, IIRC) - $19.95 Professional (MSRP $59.95) - $39.95 Upgrade (if SuSE realizes how silly it is not to release it to retail - MSRP $35.95) - $15.95
Those prices sound great (especially the upgrade), any chance we might see them?
Who knows, it's up to the retailers and the prices you quote above would mean the retailers would probably not be making much profit, particularly your price on the upgrade.
Or is it as I suspect that since retailers like to keep a nice profit margin that we might be looking at $29.95 for the Personal and $50 for the Pro?
More than %50 off of MSRP on the Upgrade? Come on, get real.
<<< Petition >>>
Finally, I would like to petition SuSE to be kind to it's current user base by making the Upgrade available at stores (so that it doesn't cost more than the current 6.4 does, even though it's missing manuals). Anyone else second this?
I second this but I don't expect retailers to sell it with no profit. Greg -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
