They just decided to mantain a common versioning scheme.

There was, at least that I am absolutely sure of, MS Word 4 and 5 on the Macintosh 
while it was only 2.0 on the windows boxes.

Versioning, it's three pairs of integers. It's not decimal! Decimal numbers only have 
one dot and the natural evolution 1.9 is 2.0. In versioning, the natural evolution of 
1.9 may be 1.10 (or 2.0, if the developers think it's different enough -- new 
features, gui etc..)
