Novell and Ximian Novell said on Wednesday that its recently released SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop will cost users over USD 300 less than Microsoft forthcoming Windows Vista operating system, and encouraged users to look at their desktop operating system options. Novell UK's technical director, Brian Green, laid out the list pricing for SLED and Windows Vista. Green said a business Vista license will set users back USD 299, compared to USD 50 for a one-year subscription to SLED.

The USD 50 subscription allows your system to continue to receive updates and patches from Novell via the net. If you believe you'll need more support than what's available in Novell's user forums you can buy support at any level you're willing to afford. Note that SLED is really intended for companies ("enterprises") and the support pricing reflects this.
