It covers install by saying LVM might confuse users, then glosses over new features by saying that improvements are largely "version refreshes."
It then proceeds to have multiple factual errors (Fedora is based on Suse and that the install required 5 CDs or 2 DVDs) that sort of make me wonder if the author did any research at all. So you have an article where a little over half is not about the release itself but to either background of the company or related news items. Of the other half there are multiple factual errors and vague hand waving. There is not even enough substance in the article for me to comment on the authors opinion.
As far as OpenSuse 11.0 is concerned, I gave it a spin a few weeks ago. As a desktop distro I found it fairly impressive. It installed cleanly on my spare laptop without issue. I am still not fond of the SLAB menu but overall I would have to say it is the best default KDE desktop I have tried. I did not really use it all to long though. It was nice, but not enough to convince me to replace my main desktop.
