The down side of that is SLED with a $50/year price tag will quickly outpace the cost of XP.
Well, if Novell ain't that stupid, then they will offer a competitive fixed price for all 5 years, at least for non business consumers.
Well I would hope so. After all, we here in opensuse land wring the bugs out of that codebase for them. Then they turn around and shrink wrap it with the same support options you get on the web for free.
I was under the (mis)impression that SLED10 patches were only good for the time that you are paying support.
I do see that they appear to be planning to license multimedia for SLED: Quote: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop supports the following audio file formats (pending licenses): MPEG Apple Audio Codec (aac) Ogg Vorbis (ogg) RealAudio (ram)
