What is a Beta program?
A beta program is one that is still in the devlopment stages. The program has been developed to the point that it is about ready for release but not all problems may have been identified and/or fixed. Many software writers release beta versions for public use so that people will use the software under a variety of conditions. Feedback to the writers by the users assist in product development and problem identification. It is also used as a marketing technique in that people get to use a program for free (with time restraints sometimes imposed) and it is hoped that if they like it, they will buy the finished product.
