      Of all the things wrong with GNOME, their choice of logo is at the bottom of the list.

        Their insistence that it be pronounced ‘guh-nome’ is a worse crime.

          GNU as the animal or the initials, okay, sure. Debatable. Gnome is a whole-ass word. That is ridiculous.

          Up there with QT insisting their name isn’t Q-T. The initials are a word. If you wanted it pronounced Qute you should’ve called it that.

    I’ll likely call it 6.0 since I’m starting to worry about getting confused by big numbers again.

      I was looking a Linus/Linux comment, I was trying to remember at what point Linus said “I’m incrementing the major version because these numbers are getting too big, there is no major advancement”.

    Even the old dog did it:

    In 1999, Slackware saw its version jump from 4 to 7. Slackware version numbers were lagging behind other distributions, and this led many users to believe it was out of date even though the bundled software versions were similar. Volkerding made the decision to bump the version as a marketing effort to show that Slackware was as up-to-date as other Linux distributions, many of which had release numbers of 6 at the time. He chose 7, estimating that most other distributions would soon be at this release number.

    Juking the version number was trendy there for a while. It happened to browser versions to. Firefox and Chrome went from like version 10 to 100.

      NT was a parallel line of “professional” windows. It had a different kernel or something. There were equivalent versions to most of the home releases.

      The first release was NT 3.1, to match version numbers with the home OS.

      NT 4 was the professional version of win 95/98.

      In the year 2000 Microsoft released both Windows ME, and Windows 2000. ME for the home, 2000 was the NT release for the workplace.

      The products were merged with windows XP, now all windows is windows NT.

      The version numbering makes sense if you count by the NT version numbers. 2000/ME is version 5, therefore XP is 6, and if you pretend Vista never existed (as you should for your own sanity) you get to windows 7 and it all starts to make sense.

    Because in the end a “version number” is just part of the name. You can call it anything you want.

      That still doesn’t explain why you would choose the other two instead of just counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 like a sane person.
