Yes, it is like Edit but more user-friendly from what I have heard. And it has built-in logging (a la AutoTap) to boot. Two tools in one.
Regarding compatibility - if you have a 2003 Silverado, the version you buy will work on all 2003 Silverados. The security only looks for vehicle type and year.
Hoping to hear from people who are using it (and perhaps who have used Edit also, for comparison).

Check out www.hptuners.com
It is a slick tool. It is better than having to buy ls1edit and autotap because it combines them into one. The tech support is really good too. They won't tell you how to tune it (liability reasons) but they will explain in depth what each function does. Keith at hptuners seems to comment in thier forums on hptuners.com alot.
My 2 cents.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner...
Yeah, I got HPT a few weeks back. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with any other logging or editing tools.
Everything is very easy to use. Supposedly it's faster than Edit... I'm able to write changes to the VCM (PCM/Computer), in under 30 seconds, through the OBDII port, and WITHOUT removing fuses or any other funny business.
Besides the included scanning tool, the other big thing that turned me away from Edit was that in-car programming wasn't available. On top of the cost of Edit, and a scan tool, you'd have to buy a benchtop programming cable and go under the hood when you wanted to make changes. The whole thing just didn't sound like a good deal to me.
I used the scanning software to diagnose some missfires and a bad O2 sensor in my girlfriends '00 GM 3.4L motor. It's good, but it's a little buggy too. You learn to work around any little quirks without a problem. I hear the scanner is faster than autotap.
