They indicated at earlier occasions that for example SB2-improvements in the visual field will be carried over to SBP-Pro sooner or later, too.

Certain aspects that are more interesting for military professionals and are adding complexity the gamers-audience does not need or like, will be left out.

Both titles were described to be - probably - incompatible with regard to online playing, and mission designing.

I think the hardcore guys will stick with SBP-Pro for online play. This does not mean that there cannot emerge a strong SB2-community, too.

Judging by the developement timetable of SBP Pro and the many delays, I do not expect SB2 before second half of 2008. Wouldn't be surprised if it becomes even 2009. But that is just me and my own believing.

P.S. I wouldn't rule out the dongle this early - it worked well with SBP Pro, and is a very reasonable solution that has found wide acceptance in the community. Better than getting some intrusive software installed on your HD.
