Might be interesting as well - but this mail was asking developers who
use openSUSE to get first hand experience with other systems,
Is it an idea to collect the initial feedback from reviewers in the
different counties and post in this thread? I gusee most of you guys
don't speak Norwegian for instance :-)
Two genral areas that is good to focus on from my Norwegian point of view is:
- Laptop's need to be focused as the premier desktop machines. I do
not have factual numbers from sales sources, but seen from our company
and the companies we are working for laptop vs. desktop is 3:1 Also in
the advertisements it is laptops that are focused for private
consumers.
- Speed. Boot up speed, system install speed execution speed, sw install speed.
Funktionality wise we have 99% of what we need. The OS is good. There
is an abundance of applications. It needs attention to usability.

Be more specific about the usability issues. I have total newbies using
10.x for all tasks without problems. Even back at 8.0, a colleague who
had only been on an intro to Unix class, borrowed my CD's and I got a
call a few weeks later, expecting to be asked some tricky newbie
questions, instead, he said his wife loved it. She was using it to
conduct her photographic business, glad to be rid of the Windows crashes
and lost work.
At work, I used to demonstrate to colleagues how much more functional
and usable SuSE was for our line of work, compared to Windows and
Solaris workstations that were their staple OS's.
