[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 972095, member: 55213"] 1. If you "don't trust" MP (or any other software, like Windows, App1, App2, etc.), you should NOT install it - noone can tell you, what an installer does - what backdoors are included in a software (are you sure there is none in your systems?) or what harm it might do to whatever exists. With open source, you have the advantage to not completely relying on "trust", but can check the underlying code itself, if you want. But as said - if you don't trust it, don't install it! 2. Yes, you can install MP manually and install DB manually and use any local or remote MySQL or MSSQL DB - also existing ones - and administer them as you like - but the majority of the standard users can't and don't want to do such things - and would not even thinking of sharing the DB with other stuff. And I probably wouldn't mix up my HTPC / tvDB with my SAP database engine anyway ;-) ... [/QUOTE]
