I've read all this bad stuff about 2.10 and I still have 2.7 on my host XP 
Pro machine so I was afraid to install it. I decided to install it a few 
hours ago on a virtual machine on XP Pro instead of the host machine. It 
works great so far. I just watched over an hour of tiger movies at youtube 
with no problems. I installed the extensions I have on 2.7 and they work 
fine.  I did not have SM on this guest machine at all so this was a clean 
install of 2.10 not an upgrade on top of an earlier version. That might have 
something to do with it working so well.
