It also LOOKS slicker. Definately looks slicker. :) The sub-options that appear when you click look a little small, though that may be because I'm on a 17" @ 1280x1024. I hope you can change the color scheme in the retail version. Grey on that bluegreen doesn't work for me. I also noticed an inconsistency in the keyboard shortcuts. In the regular game, CTRL+T and CTRL+R worked as they always have (i.e. Previous move and Next move). In the Classic Games window, it wanted to use CTRL+P and CTRL+N. None of these are going to keep me from buying it and overall I like it.
