Well, actually no. I wouldn't call it beta. I would call it the first 
release of a new operating system. Only super-early adopters used it (me 
included) and it lacked tons of features, but not due to it being "beta 
quality". I'm sure it had lots of bugs as well, but none that I can think 
of now. The main problem with 10.0 and 10.1 was that it lacked features, 
but lacking features doesn't make it beta unless the supposed final version 
should have had them.

But then again, this was a long time ago, maybe there were tons of bugs I 
don't remember. I do remember that Kodiak, the "Public Beta" had tons and 
tons of bugs, but that *was* a beta. :)
