I hope it's better than than the last beta version I used.

It completely corrupted every single VHD/VDI OS I had

These aren't betas...just updated versions. I have been using all of the 3.x versions and upgrading along the way and my VDI files have all been just fine.

I realise this release isn't a beta and in hindsight I should have stuck to the stable releases.

But sometimes it's hard to resist the lure of a beta...
