I'm sorry, this is probarbly somewhere else on this forum. I've searched with no result.
Installing Leopard beta, 9a527 for example on a mac, not on a partition. Will it make unable to install the final Leopard when it's released ?

You'll probably have to erase your drive first.

You'll have to do at least an Archive & Install, and that may not work that well considering you're updating from a beta version.

It should be technically possible, but wouldn't be recommended as others have pointed out.

Ahh okay.. so no one knows for sure if it's a bad idea ? So bad you could just not install the retail version when it's out

Why would developers of any product expend resources testing upgrades of all of the various beta builds to the final release, given the demographic of users who have the beta in the first place?

Dude, it is a beta! You should expect to reformat any boot drive that you install it on. You weren't relying on it for your normal day-to-day use, were you?!

Sooooorry.. People were talking about earlier when leopard was a beta that you couldn't upgrade to the final when it's out.
I was just asking and I got my answer so thank you

It's only for testing - Google has really corrupted the use of the word 'beta', people expect that a beta is consumer ready now...

I like Google's approach a HELL of a lot better than the rest of the industry's, where version x.0 actually means "beta", and x.1.x means that it's consumer-ready.
Better term for the current state of Leopard is "developer preview" - and whaddaya know, that's what it is!
