My up2date subscription went belly-up recently. I had switched many machines to FC-1. A lot of my Linux friends were looking at SuSE until they found that isn't for free (no ISO's). They felt abandoned too. BTW people, beware of FC-2. It uses selinux and you will have to learn how to deal with the new security. The new security kernel blows M$ clean away.
The only bummer I see is the fedora up2date network is slow. I also seem to get bad rpm's from the main site that up2date uses but not the mirrors. I wouldn't mind having the same deal for up2date for fedora that I had for RH-9.
The enterprise versions do seem very expensive, especially for just 1 year's subscription (yea, I know you get 2 for 1 but that is right now). I can sell $100 subscriptions to my customers with little problem, however when it is $300 or more they shy away and want the free version. Sort of like anti-spam software, unless the $300 software promises to find the spammer (or Nigerian scam artist), torture (2 weeks mininum) and skin them alive.
