"Novell is betting that its upcoming SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 will be the release that drives widespread business adoption of its Linux desktop, especially as it brings features like integrated desktop search, which is not yet found in its largest competitor, Microsoft's Windows."
Notice this:
"The SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 will also continue to support both the KDE and Gnome graphical desktop environments, but Gnome will remain the default."
I don't have a problem with that, to me it doesn't really matter which one is the default one as long as I can choose KDE and get support for it!

;hopefully this will silence all those people who use the "lack-of-VB-support" line when putting down OOo.
;the
press release announcing suse enterprise linux desktop 10 has a lot of interesting information:

;even more information is available in the
suse enterprise linux desktop preview.
;i have to say, i am very impressed with the look. i am actually tempted to download and try it out. i'm looking for a distro to use on my wife's laptop in the next year or so.

I'd like to see the KDE desktop it can deliver, I know GNOME is the default, but since KDE is also supported I'd really like to see it in action.

Since this will be one of Novell's commercial enterprise products, I doubt you will be able to download it for free, you may be able to get a trial.
Keep your eye out of SUSE Linux 10.1, which should be released next month, because that seems to be what SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 will be based on.
