2010 SNL install selection from the Installation Manager

Just a quick note for now. Some calls and confusion over where the SNL manager is installed from. Slightly different appearances to downloaded and DVD versions, both have same selection. Really, it's in the same place as last year but easy to skip over. Now the SW installation manager shows the page we need first. We MUST select the Administrative image and server products. Unless you are creating an admin image you want to make sure that the selections for that are cleared. If you are not installing PDM on this server un-check that as well.

Here it is from the download screen.

Here it is from the DVD version.

Does SolidWorks 2010 "Just work better"?

So the first round of the CATI live launch events are complete.  Looking at some of the slides from the What's New presentation there is a open ended question. Does SolidWorks 2010 "Just work better"?  I told myself when I was presenting this slide that I would need to keep my eyes open for an example of it just working better.  So here is the first one that I found.  It has to do with the sections capability of 2009 vs 2010.  Have a look at the video and let me know what you think.
