What the heck is a Beta Version and will the version the rest of us get be just as good?
Beta version is a test version for developers and testers where they work out last minute bugs before going gold/production. So what you get should be just as good or better.
Of course not, they always release the good stuff to certain people, then issue the crap they don’t want to the little people.
A beta version is a test version of software. Rush is a certified developer for Apple so he gets an early version to test. Apple just announced five minutes ago that OSX Lion has been released to developers in a Gold Master version... Meaning it's ready to be released!
