SuSE is cooperating with Ximian since some time already so I doubt this is 
really saying much. I think the "killer feature" in corporate/public 
environments is locking down of the UI and centralized password management, 
both which KDE offers with Kiosk mode now and Kwallet hopefully in 3.2. I'd 
be surprised to hear Ximian is actually finally working on similar features 
for Gnome (I asked several times before since it'd be great in a mixed 
environment, but it seemed unlikely to happen so far).
