I would get the 30 day trial to satisfy your curiosity.  I got version 4.51 on a giveaway awhile ago.  I used it for awhile, but especially with Windows7 it seemed like eye candy.  I could almost never get it to release my USB docking stations.  So I ended up doing what I do now.  Which is running SysInternals sync.exe to flush the disk buffers and turning off the docks. I don't have a problem. :)

I have HP PCs.  Maybe it works better with other makes, I dunno'. :)

USB Safely Remove was updated to version 4.7 a few days ago.  I assume that's the version on GOTD?

It even works after being 'virtualized'. At least on my system (XP SPIII) it does.
