That's why we have the Update Edition, where you pay $30 (+-15, haven't seen the US price list yet) and get 6 CDs, 1 DVD, the update manual, and some support for, a fari offer, I'd say. The Prof.Edition. includes more (printed) manuals and much more support, so this also comes for a fair price. We did NOT raise the prices and you get the same as before. The same costs the same, you now get it as the Update Edition (a little different: a smaller manual, update maual, in printed form, but on the other hand now the DVD is included). The Prof.Edition not just costs more, it really IS more. Now yo've a lot more choice! Before, you always had to get the one box we offered, now you've the choice to get what you actually need (which is probably the update edition).

Michael, It is all great pricing if you live in Germany or the USA but here in Australia it is another matter. I'm not complaining about the pricing of your products but how you are marketing the Upgrade Products. As SuSE are not allowing retailers to carry the upgrade product, regardless of what you say we cannot buy the product here in Australia. Purchasing it from either the USA or Germany is not on given the high postage rates which make the Upgrade Product considerably higher than the Professional Version. Why is SuSE not releasing the Upgrade product for resale here in Australia?
