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":

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.
