Hmm, I always associate x.0 software as being incredibly buggy. Maybe it's just me.

Yeah, Usually because x.0 iterations of software are 'new' unless you're gaim (who randomly decides to jump from 0.8 to 1.0 because 'it was time') or linux (mm, yey for rules).

Now, apparently (not 100% sure on the correctness of this) but even release numbers are stable, and odd ones unstable (seems true in linux and redhat)

Heh, quick thaught. What if developers of kid 2.0 disagree about some development features and create a fork of kid 2.0? Will his name change depending on which parents he is with?

I thought someone was trying to be funny posting this. Apparently not!

Strangely I was thinking about the 2.0 kid the other day, when I read this: - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/10...t_for_chinese/

Yep, windows software does it as well. Thank God for realizing this before installing Windows update.
