The same - and I'm even more annoyed, having just shelled out the $ for my Universal Subscription, that silly thing that gets me current copies of operating systems and development tools for $2KUS/year. Now, if I buy Studio, I get a 10 seat developer BackOffice for free...a good deal cheaper than what I get now.
