- The Standard Version contains exactly the same packages as the Enhanced
- Versions, except that it is not optimized for a coprocessor. A non-student
- could purchase this version, so the "average" user (w/out a need for
- coprocssor support) can get it for $200. For some reason, Wolfram decided to
- make a Student Version, which is basically the Standard Version with a
- different name.
