What did you read into it that it doesn't do? You can import more than one
data set and see a combined alphabetical list of those people so that you
can see where there are similar names - but you don't have to merge them
together as you would with other programs. You can also color-code
according to which data set they came from and you can use the Project
Explorer to drill down through two lines of descent to compare them, one
above the other. You can also open two windows containing the same project
so that you can navigate them separately and compare two people (or two
families or two trees, etc.) side-by-side.

It has always been described as a read-only product (so you can't merge
data sets, etc., until TMG5). What else did you think is implied by the
statement below?
