Re: 8.5 versus 2008 versus 9

Greetings,

Well, the versions are 8.1, 8.5 and 9.0. There is no "2008" (yes, it got added to the
product name for some ridiculous reason but it's not a separate version).

Anyway, although there's something to be said for not fixing something if it's not broke, 8.5
contains numerous bug fixes and I certainly would never recommend anyone to use 8.1
(especially on Vista).
