It's more like comparing PPT viewer to PPT. It's basically a dumbed down version of the original. You can still do full backups, but scheduling and incremental backups are disabled.
For most people, the free version (for Seagate or Maxtor) would be all they ever needed. But a number of people have reported problems with this "free" version, mainly not being able to restore the backup. I have been using the commercial version of True Image for several years, and I have had occasion to restore from the backup image several times. Never a problem. Highly recommended.
EDIT: At one point, Newegg had this for $24.99, but it is back up to $34.99 now. They do have version 10 for $15.99, free shipping. If you're not using Vista, a very good deal.
