So we have 80 years to solve the issue of supporting the version going from 99.X to 2100.1 :)

Now double that estimate, add some padding, and I am looking forward to the release of 2230.1

Good god man. What dark beasts lie in you.

I find it ridiculous people still cling to XP and IE, just wanted to poke fun. :)

But a 4 digit year as a version is ok, right?
