    It pretty much says it in that link you posted. It supports the newer Blu-ray profiles and has those other image and audio enhancements. One thing you lose is the ability to play media without booting into Windows. I never even tried 3.5 before installing a new HD and doing a clean install and installing 4.0 so I can't really compare the two from personal experience.
