The only discernable difference is the absence of the colorful packaging and
user manuals.  It's delivered in a no-frills brown envelope, with a small
promotional-type orange-yellow booklet, and the Office X CD-ROM.  The help
files and manual are on the disk.

Personally, I'm glad MS offers a no-frills package.  As cool as the
translucent gel packaging is, I'm willing to sacrifice the frills if it
saves me several $$$.  :)
