I agree. The only thing that will "win" with SUSE, AFAIC, is M$.
On my Linux machines, I dumped SUSE because of their M$ deal, & switched
to Ubuntu & PCLinuxOS. It's *very* unlikely I'll be changing back to SUSE.
At least with Linux distros you can change, if you don't like the way one
particular distro is heading. With M$ windoze, you're screwed, you jump to
their cracking of the whip.
