@fatman65535 - Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't run the betas, personally; I run nightly builds, which theoretically should be more buggy and less stable. They rarely crash on me, however. I have the current release installed as well, so I have a fallback in case I get a bad nightly build, but that hasn't happened in a long time.
I think the reason for all the betas is experience - in the past, they've gotten to the release candidate stage, thought they had something stable enough to release, and boom! Piles of crash reports came in when large numbers installed the RC. So now they're releasing more beta builds, earlier in the process, to get more users testing sooner.
