Erik,
>>>I'm not sure what MS thought was the problem with the minor version numbering system, but at some point, they discarded it- at least for Dev Tools. Now that there is no such thing at MS as version 6.5, they had no choice but to put minor upgrades into a Service Pack. The change in semantics is silly if you ask me, and is one more reason that all marketing people should be tarred and feathered.

Pure marketing is my guess. If nothing else, MSFT knows how to market and react.
Best,
