Mozilla 0.9 is more stable than Netscape 4.x and IMO Blackbox 0.65 is more stable than Windows 95, which (if i remember) is technically versioned at 4.x ... and Emacs is at v21 now, whereas MS Word is only around v10 Anyone who has any experience with OSS (or software in general) knows that version numbers mean nothing when compared to other products.
