RE: [split] Version numbers: 4.5 vs. 4.50
Another example of a program not using decimal numbers (and where there actually is a big difference if you would see the version numbers as decimal numbers) is World of Warcraft. The first patch was called 1.1, then followed by 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc. (including some minor patches as 1.8.1, 1.8.2...) until after 1.9 came 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12. If you would consider these as decimal numbers, 1.12 (released August 2006) would be considered older than 1.3 (released March 2005).
