Microsoft Version Numbering

Microsoft's version numbering identifies the specific release and revision of Microsoft software products. If you are running Microsoft's Internet Explorer you can view this number by selecting "Help" and "About" from the menu. This version number is composed of 4 parts separated by periods and may include alpha characters. The first number is the primary version number, the second number is the secondary version number, the third number is the build number, and the fourth number is a complex number that includes the Service pack release, International Client pack, and hotfix numbers.

Famous quotes containing the words version and/or numbering:

    It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
    The fragrance of the woman not her self,
    Her self in her manner not the solid block,
    The day in its color not perpending time,
    Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
    The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The task he undertakes
    Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
