patrick, you know, when you rewrite the code, how sure can you be that it is perfect?

you don't want to call the pre-release of 1.0 as 0.9.9 (many ppl do though)
it actually is misleading as the numbers can grow to something like 0.12.57

so, for the betas and such, I take it as telling of having lot changed code which is not stable enough to be called a release. well, proven stable enough.

like shawn has gone, he has no betas as he would have all the time those.
even his build numbers are not correct as he can make multiple private builds which has the same name as the to be released one (which is damn confusing)

what it comes down to, is to make it look clear what is happening.

also, came to think ms also, xp was to be a great OS we have not seen before and the version number tells us the reality, slighty improven w2k.
