I haven't run the 2010 version (plan to download it later). In the past, 
One has a different default theme, some of the KDE menu items were 
organized differently... or maybe my other setup I had chosen something 
different...

You can install the One live CD on your drive, then it pretty much acts 
like the Free version. The main difference there is you don't get to 
chose packages during install from One - it just installs everything 
that One has in Live CD mode... then you can use the package manager to 
add / remove things.

The Free version comes on a DVD (there is usually a multi-CD version 
available somewhere), so during install you can choose from more 
packages. After install, both versions get their package list from the 
same servers, so you'll be able to add software over the internet with 
either one.

For most of y'all, get the Free version, I'd say One is more for Live CD 
or newbie use.
