I guess it just depends on your needs , but it does get to be a bit outlandish , if you ask me . According to the Merriam - Webster dictionary , a beta is " a nearly complete prototype of a product . " In other words , a not - yet - finished product . Google is known for keeping their products in beta ( much ) longer than most other companies .

Question: Why are they talking about the beta version of google ?
Answer: They are trying to explain why the product is not available .They do not want to offer any advice about google .They do n't care what the needs of the other person are .They do not want to help with the beta version of google .
