OpenSuse vs Regular Suse? Whats the major difference?

SuSE is the distribution, but when Novell refers to SuSE, they mean SuSE with a bunch of Novell support that you pay maybe 500 dollars for. It's more for the enterprise folks. openSuSE is the freely available version of SuSE that you should install. It's just the SuSE that you would get from Novell only without support and warranties and such. I'd suggest openSuSE. Good night and good luck.
 
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu is my way, we still don't know what Suse is already doing with Microsoft right now. It's better to avoid everything that comes with the chameleon logo. Sooner or Later he can change his colors...
 
Can someone explain to me why this Novell / Microsoft quest for interoperability is bad?

You'll probably find a mix of Linux and Microsoft is most data centers.
 
What do you mean? Are you trying to say that this interoperability is just a ploy by Microsoft to get control of Linux? That's both foolish and irresponsible. Their agreement dealt with the Enterprise licenses, the ones that cost a couple of hundred of dollars. Even if Microsoft manages to slip in some piece of Pro windows code, you forget that the sources must be released. In other words, changes to the SuSE code can be tracked and monitored and if they are deemed to be inappropriate, end users and independent developers can easily just continue developing that code without Novell. This is seen in CentOS, the offshoot of Red Hat.
