I have recently added the beta to my boinc client to check it out. What are the differences between these projects?

Beta is where they test out new programs (applications) for analyzing the data.

Basically, test beds for new apps.

Preference is not to modify them in anyway so they can get a accurate assessment on how they preform on variety of systems.

Not all apps will be forwarded to Main due to variety of reasons.

Others can provide more in-depth information

Also, by virtue of being a test project you may see a larger number of errors as sometimes the test is to confirm a particular error behavior on a range of hardware...

Not absolutely sure but can be accepted as "scrapped".

Nope. You can take binary from where and run on main. Or you could run into emulator. AFAIK Intel provides some tools for that. Another way is 3rd paty BlueStack or smth similar
