Firefox 3 looks interesting, but it should be noted that it's the Beta version that will be available for download in a few weeks.

I've never understood what a beta version means, Michael said something about them being experimental versions.  :dunno:

basically you have alpha (software developers only really), beta (which is a wider community one) and then release candidates which end up with  the final product...

Si, the first version of XP must have been an alpha  :devil:
