As Andrew Gregory already noticed, we're the first browser ever to release with a two-digit version number.

First browser with over 1% market share, but not first ever.

W3C's Amaya - http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ - is at version 11.

Avant - http://www.avantbrowser.com/ - is at 11.7.


"No one will need more than one digit for a browser version number...ever." ~Many hapless web developers


I was surprised to see Windows Live recommend Firefox among the options for upgrading.


>"Will the web ever learn?"

No


Maybe when Microsoft releases Internet Explorer 10.


A more likely scenario is that Microsoft will bow to pressure not to break people's crap old intranet software, and its version numbers will asymptotically approach 10 without ever reaching it...


Opera X it is then.


Keanu Reaves' reaction: 'Whoa.'
