Beta softwares

7 Oct 2008

Why people love to release beta softwares or web apps. Why don't they just name it as version 1, it's better than 0.0.1build2937 or 0.2.138.40 or other zero point zero point some cryptic numbers. Even Oracle DB starts at version 2 (because they thought people will think version 1 softwares are buggy), and Flickr was a Gamma software once (whatever that means). Just a thought.
