Correct.
I understand MxD CAN do that, but there is no way to verify where on your computer the instance is getting the info from, unless you're running a JIT Debugger, (which I usually am... comes with Visual Studio, lol).
However, agreeing with Nicster's post, it would a blatantly obvious unstable version that will be completely separate in every way... plus give the users something to use while we take the steps to put it live. Much how Skip is doing it for Herostats.
I'm not I'm going to get an earful from the hardcore MxD users about how Mids never needed to do that... but trust me, it will be a something that will benefit myself and the users that know how to debug and diagnose issues.
