Color me gone. The Question is where? Red Hat, Mandriva, Ubuntu? Any suggestions?
SUSE 10.2 is a good start. Looks great. Seems to be heading the right way.
If you're used to SUSE, you're going to find pretty much every other distro highly annoying or at the minimum, missing some of those features you're used to like... YAST.
Why cut and run? It's not over yet. Just because Novell signed a deal with MS doesn't make your existing SUSE install stop working, nor does it "pollute" your existing install. Let the dust settle, and I'll bet you that this is the same tinfoil hat waving and gnashing of teeth that has happened dozens of times in SUSE's history.
If you drop SUSE, fine... nice having you here while you were here, but you're basing your decision on emotion and NOT facts. Or, are you basing your decision on the baseless ramblings of the fouty-eleven bloggers who all pretend to know it all, but in reality know nothing... and are simply cashing in on the sensationalization of the event.
Geez.. will everyone just take a pill and get back to reality...

I would like to thank Clayton for his clear, concise and rational approach to the dialogue here which I agree with. I would also like to see the MS/BS topic moved to another group as I joined this one to follow and learn technical issues which I appreciate.
