I have never installed the betas, because, to me, it seems suited for the tech nerds. How important are software updates to you? Once in a while, we overlook those notifications, when software updates come along.

I have never installed the beta version of any application, but I keep track of any software application update information. The good thing about updates is that they are beneficial in enhancing overall performance and fixing bugs.

I find myself muting the constant notifications when a new software update is available. All the same, it is necessary to install these updates when they become available.

Oh no way! I keep my software and firmware updated, but only once the stable release is available. For Windows updates I even wait an extra day or two just to see if there are reports of problems before I fall victim to it.

If I'm having a problem with a piece of software and the beta update claims to fix that problem, then I'm happy to give it a go. I've done so a few times with Sandboxie.

I have had many people tell me they install betas and that they really enjoy being able to test out new features before it actually hits the masses, but I feel like I would get too frustrated.

I regularly install beta updates that seem interesting. It's easy to roll back the update (and the machine if necessary) so why not check out those cool features?

I agree, but rolling back an update can be a tedious and unnecessary process. I avoid the beta updates but ensure that most of my devices run on the latest software versions.
