     Word "beta" may mean anything and may mean nothing. Originally this
word mean that program is not formatted as public distribution and
distributed only between limited set of testers. But now this word often
mean that this program is intermediate between "final" releases, although it
may be fully functional.

     On the other side, missing "beta" word doesn't mean that program don't
contains bugs. Study, for example, MS software - its commercial, widely
distributed software contains so many bugs and inconveniences, that I wonder
how so many peoples suffer this.
