Beta VS Stable Release

This is mainly about the opinions about beta versions of stuff and compare them with the stable versions. I personally lean towards using beta versions because they could not have that many bugs and are almost always free or at a discount to attract testers. This a good aspect because I think that free stuff is always good, and beta sometimes does not crash as much as expected. However, some people may want the stable release of some programs. Even though they cost a lot, they almost never crash. Unfortunately, some problems also occur. Because the warranty expires when you alter the source files, you are forced to reinstall the programs when there is a bug. If you forgot where you put the original disk, you are out of luck- you must upgrade or buy another one. However, with beta, you can alter the source files all you want without other people noticing, as all bugs will be given to the quality assurance team. That is not exactly good when you simply want to freeload. Therefore, we could come to the conclusion that beta is better for people that do not mind having their program crash a lot, and the stable release are for first users of the program. Stable releases are called stable releases for a reason. If you don't want your stuff to fail, then stable release is good.
