Anyone know if there is going to be another release of SyncToy? I think guru or someone was with the team for a bit. Even if it is just a side project, would be good to know when an update is coming.
Syncing two 1TB drives each with 500GB+ on them is starting to make SyncToy choke. Ends up with 80% processor and I have to shut it down after waiting 14 hours for Preview to complete.
Or is there a better alternative with a pay product? What I use it for is to sync my Home music drive with my Work music drive, so if there's something new or deleted it gets synced <-->. Or if a file is changed(like a music rating or metadata), it gets synced
<-->.

Sorry don't know of one but I love da SyncToy (of course I haven't tried 500GB of data).

It's not stupid; It's advanced!
I used to use SyncToy for synchronizing files among my comptuers, but now I just use it for backing up files (with an echo) from my home folder in my desktop to another had drive connected to my desktop.
For synchronizing files among computers, now I use Windows Live Sync (http://sync.live.com). It works over the Internet and is automatic and free. It works very nicely. The user can even administer everything through a web browser. (it also has the optional ability to browse the entire contends of a computer through the web interface and download files. This has saved me a few times.) -

I doubt it as, IIRC, it was a "Power Toy for Windows xp" and they don't seem to have created any "Power Toy for Windows Vista"s which is a shame because stuff like SyncToy and PowerCalc are unbelievably useful.
