I think you mean Visual Studio .NET 2003;
aka Visual Studio .NET 7.1 (which includes the .NET
Framework/SDK 1.1)
as opposed to
Visual Studio .NET 2002;
aka Visual Studio .NET 7 (which includes the .NET
Framework/SDK 1.0)
or
Visual Studio .NET 2005;
aka Visual Studio .NET 7.2(? or

(which includes the .NET
Framework/SDK 2.0)
You have just demonstrated why they switched to
release labels representing an AD year. Basically the same
tactic as creating version control labels - nobody is going
to remember all the separate component version numbers; they
only become relevant if you want to determine if anything
for a particular component has changed for a release. (Also
the lack of major/minor version gives no hint about the
"significance" (or lack of) of the release.)
