No, you're wrong. Beta is a state of development, it's a time rather than a
product itself. Every product must go through a beta stage... even whether
the developer knows it or not ;o) There WILL be a Beta 2, but it will also
be portrayed as the April CTP because of consistency throughout the program.

Beta 2 will be public... the April CTP will be public )
