What is the difference between Suse Linux and Novell Desktop?

I'm trying to figure out the fundamental differences between Novell's Novell Desktop and Suse Linux. To me they seem to be exactly the same. I could really find much difference. I was wondering if some of you out there use either Novell Desktop or Suse Linux. Can you tell me what the difference is?

a lot of the home user/server fat has been trimmed from the novell linux desktop - ie you won't find all of the games or even the web server.
what you will get is enterprise desktop orientated programs like evolution, citrix ica client, openoffice etc.
it comes on 3 cds as opposed to the 5 cds-odd that suse comes on.
under the bonnet they're almost identical.
