Although much abused by the software industry in the last decade, BETA 
doesn't mean experimental, and it is essential that end users use BETA 
software, other it is only ALPHA.

What BETA should mean is that the software appears to work for internal 
testers, but needs to be tested by end users, to find the bugs that only 
a real user can find, and to refine user interface issues. 
Traditionally, only selected users would be beta testers, and, in return 
for early access, they were expected to be thorough in providing feedback.

What has happened recently is that "wide betas" have been used as a way 
of cornering the market without having to provide a release quality product.

Note, you seem to have only blind copied the list!
