My favorite beta by OS

 * Windows 95: TBA
 * Windows NT 4.0: Build 1293 (most stable build with all applications provided and is close to RTM)
 * Windows 98: Build 1559 (stable with web interface)
 * Windows 2000: Build 1575 (for some reason it's funny to see trailing effects over the windows, and it's more stabler than 1585-2031)
 * Windows ME: Build 2404 (contains all features of Windows ME RTM with the stability of Windows 98)
 * Windows XP: Build 2419 (watercolor theme), Build 2428 (Luna theme)
 * Windows Server 2003: Build 2464 (help center)
 * Windows Longhorn: Build 3713 (Tablet PC, stable, and it works with a lot of the apps I use!)
 * Windows Vista: Build 5212 (winmain) (early sidebar)
 * Windows 7: TBA
 * Windows Server 2008 R2: Build 6801 (the only build that stands out)

My least favorite beta by OS

 * Windows 95: TBA
 * Windows NT 4.0: Build 1345 (hardest build to install. Build 1227 and 1234 just requires simple files to be replaced and that's it)
 * Windows 98: Build 1593 (not that bad of a build but it is hard to install)
 * Windows 2000: Build 1743 (pain build that is hard to install. Even VARCem won't do it and PCem removed the IDE instruction to allow it to boot to setup. In the end 86Box and QEMU did the trick)
 * Windows ME: Build 2419 (the explorer crashes after a few seconds and it somehow manages to corrupt PCem BIOS images. May have to test again)
 * Windows XP: Build 2446 (networking requests continuously appears make the build very annoying to use)
 * Windows Server 2003: Build 3615 (pain to repair)
 * Windows Longhorn: Build 3706 (quite unstable, has very few new features, and if slide show tab is changed or on, Explorer keeps crashing making it almost impossible to use the OS)
 * Windows Vista: The 5308/5310 build series (VirtualBox and QEMU hates these builds, so installing these wrecks on Virtual PC is a somewhat easy but slow, long task that takes days)
 * Windows 7: Build 6730 (pain build that keeps crashing on startup)
 * Windows Server 2008 R2: None.
