People should avoid using Linux from the Microsoft/MicroSuse/MicroXandros/MicroLinspire axis. There are distros with much higher integrity offering excellent, high quality Linux software.
I'd have to agree with CyberPhoenix. When you buy SLED, you pay Microsoft and you encourage this perception that Microsoft has ownership of software such as Samba, GNU utilities, etc. Novell got paid $0.3 billion for a reason. Microsoft wants to refine Linux cost just as it did with UNIX/Xenix a decade ago.

Novell's patent deal with Microsoft was a bad idea but SLED is still the best Linux desktop out there.

No, I don't think so. I think I'll use which distro I find to be the best for me personally and not get involved in some silly FOSS drama.
