You know that, and I know that, and officially, no it's not. However, as the version number becomes part of the product name, a certain element of marketing enters into it, and "iTunes 4.7" "feels" far more logical and far less geeky than "iTunes 4.10".

I don't think it's concidence that no major Apple software product (for consumers, not devs) has ever made it past .9.

Anyway, my point is simply that Apple's versioning scheme is subject to marketing / aesthetic considerations, esp. for such an important, spotlighted piece of software such as iTunes.

Interesting... I've been wondering how they're going pull this off too, but it makes a lot more sense the way you frame it. Thanks.
