When I was younger and these things were popular I (perhaps mistakenly) thought that Windows 3.11 was just 0.01 better than Windows 3.1... but... was young RJDog right, or is it 10 minor versions after Windows 3.1...?
When do you ever read decimal places as if they were large numbers?
...would be my first response, but then you get companies like ATi that numbered their driver versions as 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, etc. And in that case, it might be permissible to read them as "four point ten" for example.
Though this certainly wasn't the case for DOS and Windows. There was no 3.3 through 3.9 for Windows, nor 6.1 through 6.9 for DOS, so I would be inclined to read them as normal decimal numbers, "three point one one" and "six point two two" respectively.
