@adacosta38 Because there are no features Windows 7 offers that OpenSUSE doesn't (I know; I had to decide between upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7 or OpenSUSE) but there are features OpenSUSE has that Windows 7 doesn't or only includes in the Ultimate edition (like full-disk encryption). You also save $150+ on top of everything else, plus gain a faster product development lifecycle (and the ability to use it as a rolling distro and gain improvements even faster). There are also ecosystem addons like SUSE Studio to easily create your own versions of OpenSUSE for hard drive, USB, CD, DVD, cloud, etc.
