[QUOTE="jay_galway, post: 190797, member: 30021"] Well for the simple reason you cant test a new install in a few hours or days even. Being able to run them both in parallel if needs be is the best option. Theres so much to configure for media portal, especially when you throw in all the plugins, and as anyone knows its not always easy to get your favourite plugin running if you do a new install, due to any number of issues... and whilst your messing with a new version its always nice to be able to go back to the stable one to watch a movie or tv etc. Again this is in an ideal World, if its not possible then I will have to ghost the system, and try and get everything running with the new version ASAP, but it will be a pain in the ass.
