I heard a rumour that SWX are going to do away with dongles. Can anyone shed any further light on this?

I heart the same and I'm positive it's true. It's only 5 months ago since I upgraded my dongle to USB, which cost me =80 275,- and for what??? F%$#%ers.

In New Zealand we had dongles up untill SolidWorks 2006. Does this not apply in the UK?

That part of the license is still being supported. I'm not sure, but I think you just activate it on a second machine.

Dale's right. You get to activate a work system and a home system

I'm not a big fan myself. I just had this thought though. Could this be compared to buying a movie ticket and having to present it at the door, or an opera ticket, or any other kind of ticket, or even membership cards? The basic purpose is to make sure that only those who have paid can get access. The problem is older than software, I think.
