Fear and Loathing in Software Development

I noticed that Apple announced that the next version of OS X will soon be available in beta. Given my past experiences, I definitely know better than to mess with a beta version; but I also find myself apprehensive as to what Apple will think will be the next round of "improvements." I cannot help but remember listening to an author promote his latest book by including the joke that Fry's had only two salesmen: Beavis and Butt-head. These days I wonder whether or not they have a new job as the entire OS X coding team.
