Bleeding edge - Definition and Overview

In computer science, bleeding edge is a term that refers to technology that is so new (and thus, presumably, not perfected) that the user is required to risk reductions in stability and productivity in order to use it. It also refers to the nature of the latest technology to be extremely expensive.

The term refers to cutting edge, but implying a greater degree of risk: the 'bleeding edge' is in front of the cutting edge
