Beta software is always "under test" software. It usually has bugs, and is often unstable.
I have Yahoo Messenger V5 installed, is Yahoo Messenger Beta an upgrade or under test by Yahoo?

Thankyou for your reply, does this mean then, that I should not upgrade/download to their latest version?
Will they release another version after testing?
Yes, a beta is a testers release. Those who like to participate and send in bug reports often run beta's. Those bug reports then usually get fixed before the new point releases. So shortly, a new yahoo messenger should appear.
Thankyou locustfurnace.
