As far as i can tell, for new copies, the only difference is that you
don't get a copy of SuperPaint 1.1. You get a registration card to send
into MS like everybody else.
For academic _upgrades_, you don't get a registration card, but you _do_
get SuperPaint 1.1 (upgradable to 2.0 for $50). This means that as far
as MS is concerned, you still own the old version. So, if you want to get
free or cheap upgrades in the future, you have to go through a university.
You can also upgrade directly through MS, but it's more expensive.
