It would be nice if they were annotated to show the changes in the original 1646 confession.
I have installed BW 8 on my computer, and I must say that I am blown away by it. Get this: the Schaff Early Church Fathers fully integrated (which means that you can find every place the ECF mention a particular verse simply by scrolling down the screen), the Jewish targums and Talmud (the former in Aramaic and English translation, the latter only in English), also fully integrated in a similar manner. That right there is the worth the whole price. Cross-reference systems (note the plural) actually written out, instead of needing to click on them; Jouon-Muraoka's revised grammar, IBHS by Waltke/O'Connor, Wallace's Syntax and lots more. It is incredible.

Lane,
How do you access the targums and Talmud? I only found a chm type file divided up by "Sabbaths." Not very useful. I'd like to be able to use Talmud comments on the passage I am reading.
I really like the additional tabs in the Analysis Window, but I wish they had left the ability to click on the Xrefs that came up in it from the ESV and NASB notes and see the text of the verse instead of just the reference. Now I have to switch tabs.

On the Targums, click on the Browse Window Options, and then click Choose Display Versions. OKE is the Onkelos English translation, PJE is the Pseudo-Jonathan English translation, and PST is the Psalms Targum English translation (they don't seem to have an English translation of Neofiti). As to the Talmud, it's in the summary window (right hand window, click on Resources, and then Summary). Scroll down, and you will find all the references in Rodkinson's Talmud. I would click on Genesis 1:1. It will also have all confessional references there when you download the relevant update and reload
