    I just spoke with an Adobe rep via chat. He said:

    The Education and retail versions are virtually identical - we do not modify the software itself. To differentiate the product offering between education and retail, we may remove some clip art, some fonts, or other non-application resources.
    So really, the only difference is price. Student customers can be assured that this as an opportunity to get the full version without paying the full price.
    Also, you can use Adobe Education software (any title!) to produce commercial/professional paid-for work when you leave school, or even while you are in school. In this regard, Adobe does not limit how student software is used. So students can use it to learn and to make money.
    You are able to continue to use your Education version serial number when you leave school to upgrade to future commercially priced versions if you want to, rather than having to buy the next “full” version. So you save money now while you are a student, and also after you graduate!

    Hmmm, may be a good deal then?
