- Major and Minor Version Numbers
-
Of course it could be that some people consider it to be a major release if it just looks different. Kind of like bringing out last years model, but with metallic paint or low profile tyres, and calling it a brand new model.
There can be many changes "under the hood" which justify an increment in major version number even if visually (and functionally) the UI is more or less the same.
The naive and gullible are regularly taken in by a simple cosmetic change, handing over hard earned (or inherited) dollars for the "latest" model/version. If it is really important to know what you are getting, read the releae notes. Don't rely on the marketing departments claims and names. - Posted by: OzzyChief Posted on: 11/20/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
