So what's really bothering you is Apple using full numbers for OS updates rather than .1 increments when they release updates, regardless of the content of those updates. Only significant visual changes warrant whole number labels..gotcha. Good insight into what you value in your mobile OS and how serious I should judge your future posts. Thanks.
Don't come to the Alternative forums if it upsets you when people don't agree with you.
I used a visual representation, which I understand can be somewhat flat, especially when you consider in the PC Windows world "Metro" is mostly a skin at this point, however employing visuals in a forum medium is often easier than rambling to make a point. My intent was to indicate that the very foundations of Android change with every new numbered version, with point updates referring to performance increases, app additions and changes and the like.
In the interest of fairness, and to not go too far in embarrassing you, as you appear to take your OSs quite seriously (particularly iOS), I will admit that I do not appreciate the 18 month phone OS support cycle Google has chosen for its Nexus line, and I didn't like that Android Honeycomb was only for tablets and ICS was very similar.

Fair enough. I think iOS 7 looked good but find L far more visually appealing. iOS 7 didn't add much but iOS 8 added a TONN of stuff for iOS users.
Okay if i were renumbering iOS, i would do it accordingly
iOS 1.0 (iPhone OS)
iOS 2.0 (iPhone OS - Apps)
iOS 3.0 (iPad Support)
iOS 4.0 (multitasking)
iOS 5.0 (What is now iOS 7)
Everything else in between I characterize as performance or point upgrades.
