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..)
