[QUOTE="SpudR, post: 888671, member: 54104"] Thanks for the comments guys, most appreciated :) - I'm simply suggesting that the development for MP might be considered from a different angle. I would envisage that running a side-by-side install for the tested version would be an option set within MP on startup - I'm fully aware that people will run the test version as the 'latest release' (can't account for stupidity). The new test version would only install with an existing MP installation and you'd have to choose the test version within MPConfig - with a rider that stated that this was alpha/beta etc... How about showing a 'nag' screen that declares that this version is alpha/beta software (and you accept whatever, would you like to continue or return to the stable release yes/no), on a regular basis (say before every media play choice - choose music = nag, choose movies = nag, etc.) this will mean that people are fully aware of the status of the build and can return to the stable build if they wish.
