At the risk of being out on a limb and all alone here, I must ask what's the point of this release?
IMHO it's appalling!
The clear simplicity of MP1 appears to have gone out the window, the new versions handling of folders etc is awful.
I too have also had issues with crashes - but as previously stated this is pre-alpha.
MP2 appears to be in the usual stages of pre development, that is to say that things WILL change as the project matures.
With this in mind I have to ask why the release?
If it was to show us the 'future' of MP, I for one am far from impressed.
If it was to show the slick graphics - surel a few screenies would do that?
If it was to show the speed of the interface - surely a small video would have provided that?

I'm left feeling a little disappointed and worried 'bout the future of probably the best HTPC software out there...

I must add at this point, before someone takes some kind of offence at my words, I AM AWARE this is a very early release, and I in NO WAY want to disuade the devs from the fantastic job they do. It's just for me, this is a pointless glimpse in to a future I don't want!
