i'm not brave enough to test beta av products.

yeah, but who gets to decide whether it's stable or not?

and how often will they test?

and what does 'stable' mean exactly?



...he asks rhetorically.

Beta's dont eat computers, and theres no way to guarantee it wont when it comes out for release either.

beta's don't eat computers, but viruses can sure have a good munch.

(although i'm not quite sure if i'm correctly responding to your point. )

My fault, I was alittle mindblowingly free with my choice of words. It is understandable for the peeps to have reservations when it comes to testing beta's, however i would tend to trust a company like symantec if i was inclined to give it a go.

The beta is stable in an XP VM :)
