Did they use source control of any kind back then?

~~So not 3? Why not, because it was the most successful or something? 🤷~~

~~Plus I never even heard of 4 before. I'm going to have to look that up.~~

Bah, I was thinking of windows. I need to get some sleep.

As far as Windows goes, 95 was actually version 4.00.950 for the first version.

98 was 4.1, 2000 was 5.0, XP 5.1, Vista 6.0, 7 was 6.1, 8 was 6.2, 8.1 = 6.3

Then they jumped to 10 in both the name and internal version.

Windows 11 is still 10.0.x though.
