Hi Brett
Good idea.
Anytime you see/hear the word "Beta", no matter what number, it means that
it is not a production program, and thus, is a test program at various
stages, and as such, subject to problems of various types. It is always
best to use a second computer on which to install such programs, one that is
not your main or production machine. That way, should you encounter
problems you will not be placed in a position of having your primary
computer ill affected, or loss of productivity due to down time.
One of the main problems with Beta testing is that too many people leap
before they read all the release information to have an idea of what may
occur from the stated known issues and how to deal with them, or to expect
some problem issues during the "test" period. Just remember that if it says
Beta, you can pretty much assume there could be some conflicts with
compatibility or program glitches, as everyone's computer is not the same,
nor used the same.
