difference between feb ctp checked debug

What is the difference between the Feb CTP and the Checked/Debug version that was released last week? They both have the same build #5308.

I think this article explains it - unstaged and staged installations: http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?subcats/system/stagedunstaged
BTW, that article is useless to you if I'm barking up the wrong tree on this one :o$

Tony; Unless you are a developer, you probably want to stay away from the Checked/Debug versions. I do not know much about them, but from what I understand, they have more code used by developers. But that code causes performance issues (by design), since performance is not the intent. Unless you need the Checked/Debug version, you have nothing to gain and something to lose by installing that version.
