I got the impression that SuSE's version wasn't the full Applix suite,
but I could be mistaken.  I'd check their site if I were you.

It could also easily be that Applix just charges more to get it
directly from them.  Also, like Kara mentioned, I think Applix ships
libc5 and glibc binaries that (should) install on any distribution,
where SuSE likely ships just libc5 rpms.

Of course, this is all wild speculation.  :-)

BTW, anybody tried opening M$ Ori^H^Hffice documents with WP8 yet?
