And I suppose the whole world is confused by Microsoft's integer
numbering too?  How about your model 2003 car?  What year was it built
and what year was it sold?  What ECOs have been applied?

You don't buy a 2003.1 Ford Mustang that already has the fixes in it for
the steering wheel coming loose do you?  [I'm not Ford-bashing - I just
made this up!]

The US consumer market currently understands integer numbering.  After
all, you grew up with integers long before you realized that there was
anything between 1 and 2.
