    I don't think it has changed recently, so 2 years minimum for tho pro
    series and 5 years for the SLES series.

    The 5 year thing is very important to an Enterprise, so I'm glad
    SUSE/Novell is doing that.

    FYI: I consult for a large company that recently said Windows Servers
    are DECLINING technology in their data center. The primary reason was
    the MS support policy. ie. Win2K drops support this summer. Forcing
    everyone to move to Win2003. WIn2003 support drops in 2008, so users
    are only getting 3 years out of each release. My client has decided
    this is not acceptable.

    FYI2: They are currently recommending Windows Server based projects
    move to SLES!!!!!!
