What is the difference between the Feb CTP and the Checked/Debug version that
was released last week? They both have the same build #5308.

I think this article explains it - unstaged and staged installations:

BTW, that article is useless to you if I'm barking up the wrong tree on this
one :o$

Tony;
Unless you are a developer, you probably want to stay away from the
Checked/Debug versions.
I do not know much about them, but from what I understand, they have more
code used by developers.
But that code causes performance issues (by design), since performance is
not the intent.
Unless you need the Checked/Debug version, you have nothing to gain and
something to lose by installing that version.

This tells a little bit:
