Based on experience with beta from a variety of vendors, the rules in my 
shop are:

- be prepared for new features to be absent from the final release
- be prepared for behavioral changes of new features between
   beta and final
- never ship any commercial work with a beta

But if you're only prototyping at the moment, we could all benefit from 
having as much work as possible being done with the beta release, so 
please do use it when you can.
