Does the build version change when updates have been installed, or do i have to reinstall windows 8 again when a new version comes out?

Based on past history you will need to do a clean install w/format......But no one knows (that's talking anyway) for sure yet.....

ok, is there any reason for upgrading before beta comes out?

Think of it as making sand castles on the beach....the tide will wash it all away, but you can still have fun doing it
