"Sometimes, a service pack comes along that really makes a big difference. Take NT. Before SP3, it was garbage; afterwards Microsoft had its first server operating system that was worth anything. XP before SP2 was so-so, but after SP2, it became Microsoft's best desktop operating system ever (sorry, Vista). And, now, with its SP1 for SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop), Novell has given an already excellent business desktop a real kick in the pants."

Most business are married to one platform--Windows.
I think the corporate arena needs that transition time where both worlds collide on one desktop. They can't just rip out all their MS products and put in Linux overnight.
Besides, if you stick to the Novell-recommend way of operating their software, you should be in the clear (as with any OS).
Besides, this thing runs great on existing hardware. It's certainly worth evaluating versus buying everything new to run Vista. If you have just desk worker people, $50 a seat for everything sounds pretty good.
