Do NOT count on a Beta for improved performance.
If you are part of the Beta program, pursue this in the appropriate
Beta channels.
If not, you are better off without as it is totally unsupported.

There are sites that have stolen copies available.
However there is no guarantee that the thief has not modified the
stolen data.

This will tell about SP2:

Oh.. I did not know that the SP2 is a stolen copy. I thought it was a Beta
Release.

If you get it legitimately from Microsoft, it is OK.
Any other source is illegitimate and deals with stolen software.

In any event, there are risks to Beta software.

(1) Unless you are a beta tester you shouldn't have access to it.
(2) Many bugs, don't screw up your PC to get something that isn't ready for
primetime. :)
