They would be integers if we had evolved (or were created, so we can be all-inclusive here) where we had 16 fingers on each hand and used base 32 as our numbering system. In that case:
server2008 = 1001517078347784 server2012 = 1001517078347810 Thus, the difference is really -26 (or -q) From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Trevor Sullivan Sent: Monday, January 6, 2014 4:58 PM To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com Subject: RE: [mssms] Differences between Server 2008 and Server 2012 Mike, "Server2008" and "Server2012" are strings, not integers. Therefore, you cannot perform mathematical operations on them without first transforming them into something different (eg. an array of Bytes). Besides, even if you were to assume that he wanted the difference between [Int32]2008 and [Int32]2012, the term "difference" implies subtraction, in the context of mathematics. Because the smaller number came before the larger number, the true "difference" would be -4, not 4.
