[QUOTE="nst6563, post: 55637, member: 14655"] I said I've developed software before...I never said I do it for a living or I do it alot. When I searched for this topic, I didn't get anything along the lines I was thinking. The link infinityloop supplied would have been enough, without the ignorant comments that came with it. I never meant it to be an "upgrade path" for everyone to use. However, the addition of a "Get the latest patch" for the "official" patches or version updates would be nice as there is a lot of other software out that does that. And why is it nonsense to believe you can control the PC without a mouse/keyboard??? It was nonsense many years ago to think that you could control your TV from your couch with a wireless remote control. Why not advance MP to that point as well instead of making it "just another" HTPC application for the PC. I think that would set it very far apart and ahead of the others like Sage, BeyondTV, and MCE. It's not inconceivable to control the PC without a mouse/keyboard. So instead of taking jabs at me by saying "oh, you develop software? you should know blah blah blah", provide something productive and neutral and stop reading things into the text that aren't there. A simple reply something along the lines of "This was brought up with CVS and deemed a bad idea b/c ..." is a lot more constructively neutral than saying I or the idea is "stupid" or "should know better", etc. [/QUOTE]
