 Sorry, we received about 6 of them last week but people bought them
 before I could snatch one for myself. The OEM version should be here
 in a few days and I will check it out then.

 It did look like they added a lot of multimedia elements to the 
 product and upgraded some of the reference works to newer and 
 more complete versions. Seems to be more of an update than last
 year.
