At my company we've recently switched to such a version scheme as well, 
because with the old version scheme (a typical x.y.z scheme) customers 
always wondered why they should update when only the last digit 
changed... (Note: we are still using the x.y.z scheme internally to mark 
fix releases etc., but to the user we only promote the major number)
