There are two different ways of making a release:
Currently we are packaging KDE software build on Windows - we are of 
course using the sources defined as "Release" on Linux; this does not 
mean that KDE on Windows is meant to be any kind of stable in the sense 
that you won't experience bugs.
This applies to the upcoming 4.1.X branch packages as well - they are 
named stable just because it is the stable source branch.

Those bug reports have not been very useful - if you really want to 
report bugs, please report them into KDE's bugzilla 
(http://bugs.kde.org) or here on the mailing list with the same amount 
of information needed for bugzilla.
And don't expect us to know every bug / problem in software we just port 
and don't write ourselfes.
