For a shop my size SUSE support is cheaper. I hadn't noticed that SUSE charges more for a large shop. Maybe we will switch enough to Linux that we will care about that.
I am happy to see that the $150 gets you the latest and greatest from SNA. Your previous post implied that, but it is nice to see it clearly stated.

It's not a test set -- it's the real thing, as up to date as we can make it without violating anyone's licensing conditions, and it's permanently yours, no strings attached. -- db
