I can verify this. 885 asked for a copy of a Solidworks student edition and received 10 seats of a full up install and a bunch of nifty shirts and other swag. We were pretty impressed with how friendly, fast and easy the whole thing was. We asked, Solidworks delivered.

I'll echo M.Krasses comment about collision detection in assemblies. It's incredibly useful and something I wish that Inventor did as easily. I remember the first time I played with that feature after 2 years of Inventor training. Blew my mind. COSMOS is also pretty darn good and well featured for the price. I find the moldflow tools very useful, and am hoping to be able to utilize them in place of some specialized mold software we now have to rely on.
