IE could not be absorbed until revision 4 or 5 when it was forcefed.
Microsoft's version bump is nothing to go by. They soon run out of rational
numbering and they start labelling versions as calendar years (e.g. Office
12 becomes 2007). Mandriva (formerly Mandrakesoft?) is making the same
mistake. Mandrake was a little more rational with 9.2, just before hitting
that second digit.
And hey! Who can beat the buzzword of version 2... or better shown/voiced as
2 point 0? Apache 2, WordPress 2, Firefox 2...
Opera, being proprietary, is appraoching dangerous territories and is making
baby steps (8.5->9->9.1 testing ATM). Look at SuSE 9.1, 9.2, 9.3...
Best wishes,
Roy
