That may be true. But this is a good example of something that means one thing to programmers, and another to customers. We know version numbers are meaningless, but I'm guessing most people would put down software version 0.3, because it doesn't sound good. Come to think of it, I would also prefer a version 10 over a version 0.6, even if consciously it makes no sense.

Just another reason webapps are better. No version numbers to keep track of! :)



As another example, Minecraft (recently mentioned on HN) is currently on version 1.1.0 despite still being in its Alpha.
