I think ziffull's ire is understandable.

My first reaction was "How could Suse have been so stupid as to let this out?" Then, "How could the Linux people have been so stupid?" and "How could the GNU people...?" Now I'm wondering how this got by so many people. Didn't anyone, anywhere, blow the whistle?

After 43 years of fooling with computers and the software they run, I have plenty of sympathy for the people who commit their lives to getting them to work, but I have yet to see an exception to the rule "You get what you pay for."

I paid only $90 for Suse 9.1. One good thing is that it came with two hefty paperback manuals in a convenient box just the right size for a doorstop. Do you Redhat and Mandrake buyers get the same utility?

My message to the Linux vendors is "Welcome to the commercial world. Read the title of this topic, and if you claim your Linux plays well with Windows, you damn well better make sure it does, before charging me money for your product."
