It's a beta, and you still have the executable. The release of 3.0 does not change that. Not that I'm keen on playing hypothetical games, but what if RIT Labs said "You know what, we don't like the NFS, let's go back to the OFS" and released a 2.13?

The disservice to regular users is no different than that to beta users. If you converted to NFS, you did so at your own risk using a beta copy. -- Kevin ________________________________________________________ Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
