Good thing you made that last clarification, because on the technical merit of the products involved your analysis is not correct.
Windows Home is severely limited in the networking area and quite dangerous to install in any size network, as the sharing is essentially wide open. SuSE OTOH, installs securely even with the now defunct STD edition.
Std edition simply lacked some server daemons, all of which could be installed via Yast from the ftp site.
Pro offers everything SLE did except paid versions of some daemons. If you know what you are doing there is never a need for SLE unless you want the support and ease of configuring for large environments out of the box.
SuSE Linux Standard is a server release, based on SLES 8. It includes many server daemons SLE is a mailing list :) I believe you are talking about SuSE Linux Personal, may it rest in peace
