Why is Longhorn 3718 so incredibly stable?

[frogz2007]

My gosh I can't believe how stable 3718 is... It's probably the most stable build of LH I've ever used. The only thing I don't care for is the stupid C:\ drive "hidden files" bug.

Does that....really make a difference to you at the end of the day?

That is what to expect in a 3xxx build which resembles Windows XP very closely in stability. Even the original PCem will run them fine (albeit slow, but 3718 runs better than 3683). I also heard 4074 is stable but also has an explorer.exe memory leak and higher requirements.

What's your deal? I was just wanting to start a discussion about LH 3718... goodness.

4074 is probably the most stable M7 build, for sure. It definitely has some issues (the inability to create new folders; can be easily fixed via a registry hack).

I personally like 3718 the most since it's theme is so pretty to look at and it has that full window transparency. The only cosmetic thing I can't stand is the boot screen is unchanged from XP's, though that's to be expected since they were obviously working on more important stuff.

M3 are most stable as they contain less stuff than others...
tho M4 would be stable too if they didn't have that Thumbnail memory leak bug and WinFS mem leak as well

I've heard 4011 is pretty stable
