What make's an alpha or beta tester's hardware less valuable than the hardware the final release is installed on? In many cases it is the same hardware.
While I agree many install alpha or beta releases when they shouldn't, a large number of people are actually working to do testing, and their complaints are valid. If I or anybody sounds like they are "whining & wailing" it is because their hardware is valuable, and they are doing a service to you and everybody else.
