Steam vs Fastspring versions?

What is the difference between the Steam and the Fastspring versions of the game? I had FHM9 on Steam but always wondered if there was any difference between the two.

Not many differences: The Fastspring version, for some reason, crashes when we enable drag-and-drop lineups on some screens, so in that version the click-and-point method is the only way to move players. It does, however, display the "hockey quotes" on the loading screens, which, for some reason, refuse to appear on the Steam version. But everything else is pretty much the same. Saves are compatible between versions (and between PC/Mac.)

It's a real shame that the quotes database won't appear on the Steam version, it's a cool little bonus.
