AFAIK :
- an ALPHA should be feature complete, it usually have known bugs and 
requires some polishing and code cleaning.
- a BETA is usually supposed to have bugs, and requires user testing to 
find them.
- a RC doesn't have any **known** bug and has to be tested to confirm 
that it's mostly bugfree .

I don't want to troll, it's just my 2 cents ;)
