In reality, probably the only significant difference between alpha<last> and beta 1 is that a first beta of anything is usually the first feature-complete release. Historically, beta 1 has been the first release to go "out of house" for testing. When the prospective end users get their hands on something, you don't want it to be a moving target. OpenSuSE has upset that cart a bit, by making the 10.2 alphas available to those end users, but only beta 1 is marked "feature complete".
