right... but...

IE 5 & XP

Sorry... am I missing something?

[Twey]

Ah -- I missed that.

[djr33]

Then again, this is somewhat pointless anyway, because one should hope that the page would be compatible with IE 5.

ASIDE: Yet another unintentionally amusing thread. Hyphens are your friends (Sub-version), though I still think it sounds convoluted.

[Twey]

Heh... too much time spent on OSS IRC channels, the puns are beginning to rub off on my subconscious.

I don't think "sub-version" is a word. Let's just call it a "minor version" and leave it at that.

[djr33]

Actually, guys, Twey and I are talking in code and plotting a revolution.

So... you've got 5.0 and 5.5 as "sub-versions"... what would you then call the differences between 5.1.4 and 5.1.3? 5.224.53.5334.1, as some programs do?

[Twey]

5.224.53.5334.1, as some programs do?

That's generally known as a build number

[djr33]

Ah. So... it's beyond subsubversion. Hehe.
