Is beta good or bad?

I've heard about beta software and I'm wondering if it's a good or bad thing. Should I use beta versions of software or stick with the stable releases? Are there any risks involved with using beta software? Is beta good or bad?

A beta value above 1 suggests that the stock's price movements are more pronounced than the market's average.

This implies that the stock is more volatile and could experience larger swings in price.

On the other hand, a beta value below 1 indicates that the stock is less volatile and tends to stay relatively steady compared to the market.
