>> Huh? How did you insinuate that?

Easy. If the default for SuSE Professional is KDE because their customers prefer it and their customers are primarily non-business people, then since the default and expected option for Novell Linux Desktop is GNOME and their customers are mainly businesses then it's logical to conclude it's preferred by business customers while KDE is not...

There are at least two problematic things with this reasoning. The first is plain simply that there was no indication in the article how many customers actually buy Novell Linux Desktop. So there is no factual basis on which your conclusion can be drawn. The second is that your conclusion would be only "logical" in the colloquial sense of the word, meaning "it is a reasonable assumption to make". But "real" logic does not lead to your conclusion. Schlaeger said they ship KDE because most customers prefer it. But this statement does not say *anything* about whether they would ship primarily Gnome if most customers would prefer Gnome. It might well be the case that they won't ship mainly Gnome, even if most customers would prefer it.
