Two things AFAIK.
First the only way you have to restore your XP installation (no great loss) 
but you gain about 3.5 Gb of drive space.  (I'm told you can request a 
replacement CD from IBM.  Has anyone done so?)
Second, the pretty polished UI to IBMs BIOS tools.  I haven't fully explored 
what's left, or what was lost, but I'm willing to bet it wasn't anything.
