I popped it onto a test machine at work and it looked fine.  Haven't
found any visible differences as yet.  Didn't break anything, either.

We shall see.  I do not register any MS programs as a rule.  I haven't
needed any after-sale help from them, and would rather not be in a
database if I can help it.  So I do not want some program doing an
end run around me and doing some form of stealth electronic
registration.  None of their business..
