Once Michael starts releasing betas, I (and I think many others) begin to use them. His code quality is already high & coupled with his dedication to responding to the forum, any bugs that do crop up get dealt with pretty quickly. In a way, the betas are our opportunity to help support Michael's efforts. It is rare that a beta would introduce an incompatibility with the prior release, so pretty easy to switch to the beta and be able to drop back should there be something not working well for you. The beta thread and release notes keep you pretty well up to date on what's going on. Besides, its like getting presents (features) throughout the year rather than having to wait for Christmas!
