BETA ? what is it
Stephanie
Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
A beta is a maintenance release (or new program) that has not recieved full testing but was created in order to address some known bug(s) or to add some new feature in the program. Because they are not fully tested problems may arise from using betas.
I would only suggest using a beta if you are fairly advanced with computers or if someone from support directs you to a beta to solve a problem you are having.
Beta comes after the Alpha build. Alpha is where it is internal testing only. When you have a beta build often times your version number will contain a B in brackets. There is no real harm in a beta as we have already tried it with a standard blanket of testing but that does not mean that it is finished.
