"Novell's new SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 is beating Microsoft Vista to market by months, and the Xen virtualization features in the upcoming SuSE Enterprise Server are right on target. In short, Novell's Linux roadmap looks great. Now, can Novell get business customers to travel its road?"

DVD Codecs (or XGL for that matter) will not be an issue for the enterprise customers Novell is targetting with SLED.
Why would one need DVD codecs anyway? DVD playes for televisions are so cheap these days, why the hell would you want to sit in an uncomfortable desk chair with a small screen when you can lay back on a sofa with a big ass screen and a complete setup?

I installed the beta8 of SLED10 and found some strange bugs in the 1st 15 minutes:
- no binary driver for XGL (they develope it and don't want to give away proper drivers, arrrgh)
- installed Nvidia binary drivers manually, but:
- switch to XGL doesn't work
Deleted it for Dapper flight 5. Dapper doesn't feel like a a beta and is in my opinion the better choice for a long time supported Linux. And it's free
Btw, and the price tag of SLED:
I don't want to pay for SLED10 if I they don't give a me - for example - some DVD codecs
No, you installed Suse 10.1 Beta 8, which is the community-oriented OpenSuse distro.
SLED is a different product, though Novell is to blame for the confusion over that naming convention. SLED used to be Novell Linux Desktop, Suse Linux used to be OpenSuse which used to be, er, SuSE Linux.
DVD Codecs (or XGL for that matter) will not be an issue for the enterprise customers Novell is targetting with SLED.
