What bugs expected to be fixed?
There are no real expectations as to release times or bug fixes. No one really knows when Apple will do it or what will be changed. People can certainly hope for this or that, or guess basically, but that's about as far as it goes.

No thinking or hope allowed. Just waiting...
But installation of a beta mainly depends on the expectations of bug fixes. Isnt it.
In the absence of any real projection, it boils down to trial installation and then seeing if the bug one wants to be fixed is actually fixed.

And that's pretty much how it usually is.

It sounds like you are on the beta program in the hopes that you will get early access to certain bug fixes that have been bothering you. Not a good idea.
Not just that.
On beta so that am able to report bugs which get addressed faster than if they were reported on a regular version.

How do we even know there will be a beta 2? Food for thought. o_O
I think the only basis is that only one beta may never be done before public release.
The other reason is the wishful thinking- if there is only one beta then my expectations would not be fulfilled as except for security issues, Apple would not address bugs without releasing them in beta.

Nailed it! We can now predict betas by determining if his/her expectations will be fulfilled by one.

It's been 2 weeks
Last time there was a beta 2 took 2 weeks also
How does that prove a beta 2 is even in existence. Remember, Apple has been chasing the rules. 10.3.2 isn't a major update, it might not even need two betas.

For all we know, if beta 2 does drop, it very well could be the final public release.
