53. SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10
what others say...
Olhorst and Moltzen of CRN recently said,
“SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 has the feature set, compatibility and
flexibility to meet the needs of most corporate desktop users. What´s
more, at a price point roughly one-tenths of what Windows Vista and
Office 2007 will cost, SUSE Linux becomes harder to ignore”
Gartner* estimates that Windows security vulnerabilities have
increased desktop TCO by as much as US $200 per user per year.
