Except for the word "beta" next to the "license type," it's pretty hard to recognize it as a development version (at least on that site). As a recent convert back to the Mac world, I tend to patrol VersionTracker pretty regularly, and although I've read plenty about the new beta in the past couple days, even I had a brief moment of thinking "It's out already?" before I noticed the comments. (And by the way, the new video stuff looks great!) Hey John,

Did VersionTracker tell its audience to use the uninstaller first? That's the info on the Labs site. I've seen some direct linking at places like Digg too. Like the Adobe page says, it's for developer testing. Not using the uninstaller would likely produce the bulk of the installation errors. (I saw the SWFAddress post earlier today, but the written post made it difficult to functionally summarize the issue for others. There's the feedback form on Labs.) jd/adobe Thanks for the catch.
