I have automatic PC software update checker and i allow to show me not only full, final releases for my software, but beta version updates too! somtimes it is great to see the newest things that are upcoming very sooon, but from other hand it is still kind a unstable products in beta versions or even in latest RC versions.
...any opinions on this matter?

I agree with you in knowing whats the new release will offer us. Beta version are really buggy this is why it is a risk to try it. Not everybody can use this but only those who can handle a possible consequences of a bug. Sometime beta tester can suggest an added feature. The Release Candidate RC are more stable but not as stable as the final release. If its a Final release then its OK for public use.

yeah... thing which i dont like is that several programs installing betas seperate from each other and full release and when i want to use it i sometimes mix them. For example at my home pc now is 1 firefox final release and 4 betas :D its kind a strange and with Opera browser is the same thing... 1 final release and 1 beta program files folder :D maybe it is great to be able uninstall only bete and keep one of versions, but it is harder when you are allready ok with on eof betas - added bookmarks, changed program skins and other stuff and then new release and all can be started from 0 again :D
