i think, but that's only a guess, that safedisc 3 will appear at the end of this year (2 years for sd 1, now 2 years for sd 2
) and they'll probably TRY to stop copying software (CloneCD & others)
that's why it is very important to know how to reverse previous versions... internally, the difference between SD 1.50.20 and 2.05.30 wasn't great...
again, i'm guessing here, i may be completely wrong... don't think i work for Macrovi$ion
dazza, as emptyeighty said, we will have to discover the strengths and weaknesses of SD3 ourselves when it comes out. it's just useless to discuss it yet.
