It still offers rock-solid disc burning, and if you want to do some professional authoring Toast is the tool to have, but if you already have an older version then stick with it. Other features, particularly those in Toast 10 Pro, are largely superfluous. There are some useful new features in Toast 10: the improved interface is easier to read and the media browser is easier to use, although, as a whole, the interface is harder to use, with a lot of the functionality hidden away. These applications are all available elsewhere for less, but with Toast 10 you will make a saving if you were planning on buying two or more of these.
