Why people are waiting for One-Point-Oh
The reason people keep asking for 1.0 is that, apart from Mr. Sachs, most software producers hurry to release a first version, and worry about fixes as the bugs are discovered. Think about it, - would you consider using Ms Word 0.99 or maybe Adobe InDesign 0.99? The word "beta" in a version number normally means "use at your own risk, the real version is due out soon" and over a year as a (released) beta-version is something rather unique in this business. Therefore, until 1.0 is released, having people asking for the "real" version is unavoidable.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
