If you were Microsoft, you'd call it "EA" for "Early Availability",
or the marketing-speak term "PREVIEW".

Actually, I like the idea of riding on their marketing of the word
"PREVIEW", since they've spent the money, time, and energy to make
people think they are getting a special deal to be beta testers...
