Well friend Beta version means providing the whole software to the user for testing and noting down the loopholes(if any) complained by the user while using the software.
It can be said something like releasing the software to the users and waiting for any complaints or any changes to be made by the designers to the software in improving the quality of the software
In this way they can also findout if any more changes are to be added or can be modified..!

It is actually a test for a computer product prior to commercial release.
Beta testing is the last stage of testing, and normally can involve sending the product to beta test sites outside the company for real-world exposure or offering the product for a free trial download over the Internet.
Beta testing is often preceded by a round of testing called alpha testing. One example is The Mozilla Firefox 3, codenamed Gran Paradiso. It is still in Alpha stage and you can become one of the testers of it by downloading and trying it.
Softwares in Alpha stage is usually codenamed, while Beta versions of softwares use the real name that will be used when officially released.

Whenever a new software is launched it goes through a beta phase in which it is tested by the experts who finds out the hindrances in it and corrects it. Every software goes through this phase before it is accessible to the common people.

its what the software company will release for people to use and then they can see if anything needs to be fixed. sometimes they will make it available to everyone or only a select few who will note any glitches in the software. they do it because often the best way to see if a product is ready to sell or if it should be altered in any way is to have actual people use it.

It means that the company is trying out the software and having users test it to make it error free.
