Answer:
When creating software, there are usually two major phases before software is released. The Alpha phase is right after all the features have been completed but the bugs haven't been worked out. Alpha software is usually not released to the public. This is when the major bugs are found and fixed. Beta software is usually the first release the public sees, and it's meant for people who are willing to help test a new product and help report problems they see with it. Beta software is usually fairly well tested but because it is so new, the makers of the software want to get some useful feedback from users before ending the Beta period. After the Beta is the GA (general availability) release. This is when the product is extremely well tested and has minimal if any bugs in it.

Beta means, that they are still testing it..If you have problems with it, it means they are not responsible, if anything goes wrong, like loosing any files or programs..etc..

Well I answered this question before also a few days or may be months back. The answer is Beta is a software which is in progress mode. That is it is in testing mode and could have bugs. It is made available to the public to test it on a large scale and this helps the sofftware makers to know about the bugs in their software.
