>>Yup.. and when MS added .NET to everything, it caused lots of confusion. Talk to anyone that used Clipper, Summer 87 and ask them about the confusion and problems they had when using a date with the product version. That's one reason the next version of Clipper was 5.0.

>I agree, any version that is dated such as Windows '95, for example, provides a bad impression to a user, after a while, as it gives the impression that the product is old and that something newer should be installed.

I don't see a smiley, so I'll assume you are serious...

THAT is precisely WHY MS likes to use dates in product names. We hear lots of people here telling us that they are still forced to support Win95 systems. While these, apparently, are working well for them the most common reply here is to have those systems upgraded.
Did you replace your hammer version #163 after Stanley issued #164?... #165?...#166? No? Well its time you did!!!
