Start Menu --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Programs and Features
Select "Magic the Gathering Online" and click "Uninstall/Change"
Should be pretty self explanatory from there.
Yep, found both versions and uninstalled the beta using that method last night .
Geez I hope they DON'T adopt the beta version as the standard version. That think looks TERRIBLE and is a LOT clumsier to use than anything they have made so far.
It eventually will become the standard client. I'm not sure how much you used the Wide Beta, but if you can put some specific feedback into words, please check out the feedback threads or fill out the form found HERE. It all reaches the design team working on the new client, so feel free to explain your thoughts in detail.

Can't really do that. I already uninstalled it and I don't know what the build number was. In very basic terms I found it to NOT be very intuitive. At least, not as intuitive as the current version or Version 2. I found myself clicking on stuff all over the place just to get my decks imported.

Okay, I did make a post at the feedback threads about my experience with the beta version. Not that I think anyone will pay attention to it.

If it helps, the most recent build number is 3.4.71.266
Intuition can be hard to gauge between different players. If someone has used the current client for years, they expect buttons to be in certain places simply due to habit and familiarity. Those kinds of hurdles can make any transition uncomfortable. A new player might have completely different expectations depending on what other games they're used to playing.
I'm only pointing this out because it's one of the reasons the MTGO team wants as much detail as possible in feedback. The goal is to find a happy medium everyone can enjoy using.

But that attitude will end up LOSING the regular players that have been around for a while in favor of newbs. Not sure that is what MTGO wants to do, but you never know. They certainly lost a LOT of old timers with this current version. At any rate, you already know how I feel about the current and future versions from my first post.

I'm a regular player that has been around since the beginning (of both paper and online). I use the new client most of the time. It gets noticably better with each update. The Open Beta crushes V3 for drafting. Its not perfect and sometimes a bug forces me to switch, but its my default preference.

Yeah that sentence got hacked, didn't it? I meant less. The table view was a nightmare, not only because of the stupid incessant clapping that came with it, but because it served virtually no purpose in finding a game.
There was an option to turn that sound off.
And yes, it wasn't a very good way to find a game, but there was something about it that made it feel more like...Magic. More like a card game.

I liked the clapping. And the death animations for your avatars. I also like the beta version more than V3 - but it's been too long since 2.5 for me to be able to compare things with it.

I continue to be baffled by the people who actually like the hunt-and-click-a-table method of finding a game.

Unfortunately, VCLs do not currently have the tools necessary to take moderation actions directly. VCLs submit their actions to ORCs, who then actually perform the action. This processing can take between a few minutes and several hours, depending on how busy/attentive the ORCs are. If you see something that needs VCL attention, please use this thread (MTGO) or this thread (paper) to make a request and a VCL will look at it as soon as possible. CoC violations should be reported to Customer Service using the "report post" button.

As opposed to scrolling down a list that is jumping all over the place?
