    Official standpoint from M$ on beta/RC naming:

    Beta releases do not necessarilly contain same functionality as the final
    release RC DOES contain same functionality as final release (no more
    functionality changes are planned)

    So it's not a question of reliability but functionality ...

    Just my 2c

    So they'd be Gamma's?
