And Microsoft also had the MSN Messenger. Later .NET Messenger, later Windows Live Messenger, Microsoft Messenger, and Windows Messenger. Everybody kept calling it MSN Messenger, just as almost everybody today STILL says KDE4. Even within our very own community "KDE4" is still used and some even use "KDE5": https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdebindings/python/pykde5 Oh, and btw: Microsoft went back to version numbers (7, 8, 8.1,...) because they are not confusing. Plasma 2.0.3 is easy (people using computing devices encounter such version numbers all the time). "August 2014 Update of the May 2014 release of Plasma by KDE" is not easy. All you achieve with such a hard to comprehend "version number" is that people will call it KDE5.
