So a customer buying "HoughiSoftware 2004" now, is he being ripped of or not? I will tell you what the latest version of this hypotetical package is AFTER you answer yes or no. ;-)
That's a trick question :-P
SuSE pops two versions per year, we don't know about your program ;-)
At least, if I were about to buy a software labeled "2004" I would try to get more info before opening my purse.
That must be why nobody ever thinks at the moment when buying Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. It has such a recent numbering yea rin it's name. And what shall happen with a release just by the end of the year 2006 (like 10.2): is it already named 2007 or still 2006? And if 2007: when exactly would be the limit to name it 2007 or not? Probably by asking around this question, you get everything back to Janaury 2006 for the 2007 release. Sorry, but I don't like these 200x numbers at all! MS Started them with win95 (which, btw, was released in August), and it continued.. and guess what: for some reasons, they gave up on it with WinXP and vista... we should profit from their marketing knowledge and not start putting year numbers as version numbers.
