For a start, the fact that you'd be upgrading to a beta product. One of
the purposes of beta testing is to get others to help to find bugs -
that would suggest that putting .NET 2.0 beta on a development server
would be a useful exercise to help to improve the quality of .NET 2.0
when it's released, but putting it on a production server would be a
very, very bad idea. (It would also potentially violate the licence
agreement - I haven't checked.)
