Does anyone know what the differences between the HP Photosmart S20 and the HP Photosmart S20xi are? All I've seen this far is that the xi-version doesn't come with Microsoft PitureIT and has som Broderbound software instead.

HP does this. Many of their models end in either xi, cxi, se, or cse (I'm not certain of all of these). The letters after the basic model number (in this case S20) only refers to the software that it comes with. I'm not certain exactly why they do this - I've heard it has to do with what software they can ship overseas -vs- what they sell here in the US. Otherwise I've been assured the hardware is precisely the same.
