Why is Yahoo going to Beta?

Question

Beta doesn't always load everything. When you use it like the old Yahoo Mail.

Answer 1

I'm new to computers, sorry if I'm in the ice age still but what's Beta

Answer 2

Actually Beta Version has most of the features in it.But there is always scope for improvements.

The reason for going Beta is that it is a test run before the regular.Moreover the main Idea is

"Even when there is any unforeseen events u encounter or loss of data(it mostly doesn happen),you cannot claim compensation from them while it is in Beta State"...Thts also a main fact.But if you can see..the features are constanly enhanced and updated in beta Version!!

Answer 3

Beat means the new version is in testing mode.

Answer 4

Beta is a production test of this product.  It will eventually migrate to a non beta version or "production" after they work out many of the kinks.

You can switch back to the old version while the new Mail is still in Beta.
