Hi Jack,
You do not have to buy an upgrade for each pc for suse, you can legally install the one upgrade on all 3 of those pc's so where do you get that its cheaper for windows. just currious.
Let's see if I can figure this out again. This is a cost analysis over four years for a small business with three computers. Windows: $600 ($100 every two years, buying every retail upgrade, for three PC's) SuSE Linux: $720 ($60 [upgrade + S&H] three times a year) Both have StarOffice, so both do not need any more commerical software to work in a basic office. Now, granted SuSE Pro comes with a lot of great stuff Windows does not have. However, SuSE develops sizably less of the system than the Redmonians, so they should be able to offer more for less. It is worth noting, that the larger the company, the less it costs to use SuSE, but the point is, SuSE in some cases may actually cost more than Windows. That's a scary thought. -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
