Here is what I understand.

I had always each year bought the HD version and gladly paid the extra cash for the upgraded next version on a HD. This year I went cheap and just got the two DVDs for $99.

It was all good until I realized that for that extra $40 you not only get the HD but also the complete package - meaning everything from day 1. The DVD for $99 gives you only the "2014 upgrade". So, what's the problem? I already have everything from day 1 on my machine and only really need the upgrade BUT it sure was nice having BIAB all on one nice HD as a back up. If I would have know this I would have paid the extra bucks.

BTW, I have tried to "upgrade" my 2013 HD with the new 2014 content as a back up and it ain't so easy. Actually, kind of a mess. Do yourself a favor and pay the money.
