you are in the wrong path really...
the guys at vb.com are the ones who code the engine, they know where the bugs can occur, and they can recover what they loose...
you, on the other side, are not a coder - or at least not the coder who coded the engine... you can encounter rare problems that you will not be able to fix, and even hit a bug that may crash your entire site... without any help to recover if you are not used to deal with such situations...
aside of that, if the Beta is an early stage of development, it is far from being the gold version that will be safe for your site... the beta of all the scripts are for testing features and helping coders to find flaws and redesigns... if you are no coder, you may be of no need to test it, because you would mainly report bugs that are not really there (most of the bug reports are closed because the reporter is not even aware of the way the error occured, they report them when they are already debugged, etc...)
it is not suggested to install a Beta or Alpha or even a Release Candidate when you are not used to code and debug... this is never fun to find your site crashed because of your un-knowledge... and even the coders can't always help you when the bugs occur because they are flaws on the system... most of the coders here will try the betas on test ground, sites that are not in production, just because they want to play with it... do you play with your scripts?!
