They are free and sometimes we even get something out of them! Plus it gives us something to do when we are bored.

i like using them as an evaluation, to see if i want to buy it. But most of the time they just give it to me at the end of the beta anyways

I agree with what Dave said. I used the SP2 beta for XP to determine if I would tell my employer it was the best thing since sliced bread. I always gave all my SP2 beta builds to my companies IT guy and when SP2 went final it was on our computers in a matter of minutes because we were able to make a previous decision to use it.
Not only do betas help the developers learn about their problems, but they help the tech world decided on if the updated program is a viable update solution or if they should wait for the next release.
