A beta version of a program, game etc... is an unfinished version released to either the public a select few or whoever signs up to beta test it for bugs or glitches. A common mistake people make when talking about for exampl 'Msn beta' is they say 'better' instead of beta.
Windows is not exactly a beta test because instead of testing all the numerous bugs in the operating system they sell them :P.
