Q: Who should install and use beta software?
A: Beta versions of our software are available to both beta customers and MSDN subscribers. There are also some technical beta programs which release software to the general public, for the purpose of end-users and developers testing out the software to see if it works with their current projects and applications. Generally, anyone can install beta software as long as you're legally able to obtain and use the software. We heavily rely on and appreciate the work and results that our beta users perform. One important thing to remember with beta software is: Do not install it on production servers or on machines which you can't afford to lose data, because beta software is still a "work in progress." Also, using System Restore to create a Restore Point prior to installing software or hardware inside of an OS can help to prevent and resolve problems down the road.
