    If Microsoft can get away with calling their latest OS Windows SEVEN . . .

    . . . then all versioning rules are out of the window, if you'll pardon the pun.

    I missed that (or forgot). Just shelled out 150 notes for a 4.0 licence.

    Does IPB do threaded views?

    I guess they are trying to forget Vista.

    With good reason :)

    And a few others

    Apparently they consider several of the earlier versions to be builds of the same underlying OS. Which isn't how I remember them marketing it . . .

    Most of the current os comes from the NT code branch I think. NT 3, 3.51, 4, Windows 2000, XP, Vista

    Yes IPB do.

    Take it you havent gone for the suite then that would have given you a CMS which you could use for articles etc?

    The CMS comes in version 4.0 which isn't out yet. Should be out by Christmas (or in beta in next few weeks). We will get all the new funcionality at this point. Meanwhile go live with 3.8

    Open to suggestions but probably best to upgrade to 4.0 first.
