Good questions, Kevin..
1. Unfortunately, I don't have that answer; it may actually be NDA..
2. Eval versions are exactly that; evaluation. Hotfix efforts are
expensive, and testing them against evaluation (i.e. free) versions isn't
cost-effective.

Hi, Jim.
Now you have my curiosity peaked. You have regenerated two questions.
1. If the build difference isn't the mitigating factor as to why it isn't a
straight upgrade, what is the reason? Not that the uninstall and reinstall
with a backed up config is difficult or overly time consuming, but it would
by nice to understand.
2. I am now more curious as to why SP1 can't be applied to the eval version.
From a marketing perspective I consider this the be a huge problem. (Give
the potential customers a piece of software that is broken and can't be
fixed (at least easily) to evaluate.
Thanks
Kevin

Actually, you're both right and wrong.
The ISA eval version is a different build than the release, but that's not
the gating factor.
You'll notice that when you apply hotfixes that the ISA version reported is
also changed.
Take a look at your version column after applying a hotfix or SP1. The last
digit set changes to indicate your hotfix level.
