Roman numerals in software versioning should make a comeback.

The Cicero-approved desktop of MS-DOS programs from this moricons.dll set would include these:

Applause II 1.5

Framework III

Crosstalk-XVI 3.71

PC Paintbrush IV Plus

And of course you’d want dBase III+ and Deluxe Paint II Enhanced.

I support this. "Windows XI" looks so much more professional and enigmatic.

You may laugh, but when I heard that Microsoft was working on code-name "Cairo" I turned that around phonetically in my head until I realized they were indeed referring to "Windows Chi-Rho".

They should go all the way to Windows MMXXV etc.
