The packaging is expensive, it would be easy to assume, its a full retail copy that does not expire, not trial or BETA. Also, it would be cheaper to put it on a Server so attendees could download it instead of wasting packaging on pre-release software. MS did a similar thing at WinHEC 2005 when they gave attendees commemorative editions of XP Professional x64 and Server 2003 Standard x64, which are full final versions that don't expire but are NFR (Not for Resale). So its possible this copy of Expressions is NFR. The new Microsoft product boxes are by design, – tamper proof.
