Guess what, kids: None of them are real.
I know that Computer Associates spent a lot of money evaluating what version number and numbering schemes inspired the most confidence. And I worked for a company back in '94 that published 5.1 as it's first public version. Overtly deceitful - or sound marketing? Is there a difference anymore? Guess not, because I wasn't about to quit over it.
And who said that you had to add '1' to the hit-counter of a web page? Or even that it had to start at zero? Why not start it at 1,147,323 and add 7 for each visitor?
Question everything and trust nothing.
Not running Flash smoothly isn't keeping Linux from going mainstream. Linux supporters are keeping Linux from overtaking Windows. When the Linux community at large drops their holier-than-thou attitude and puts forth the effort to create a Windows killer distro, Flash will be nothing more then a line of the checklist. Until then, Linux bigots - and Apple snobs - will sit on the sidelines while the rest of the world moves on.
Garbage. There IS no "better Linux option". Until Linux supporters climb down off their high horses and start putting a mainstream-usable Linux in the marketplace, Micro$oft has a lock.
I'm betting that every program old enough to have 'lived' through the turn of the century has had significant modifications and recompilations, such that they are not the same program they were 10 years ago.

They could have at least had the decency to die and become oil. I'm tired of filling my HumVee for $200.
