[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 763043, member: 61892"] There is virtually no difference between beta and stable. Beta is released and tested for some time, when no bugs are reported, it is marked as stable. But of course every software contains bugs, stable included, some bugs just take longer to be discovered, so basically every software is just beta. Just 1803 for example, it was marked RTM and after a while, MS has discovered a serious bug, which postponed the public release for 2 months. Alfa, canary, nightly releases are questionable, but as for betas, they are pretty safe, otherwise they would not be released as stable candidates. [/QUOTE]
