| Is Internet Explorer versions 4.# an accepted convention to mean I.E. version 4 point something? |

| I don't think so, but I'm no expert. I think the convention is to identify the program and version and then indicate "or later". |

Yes, 4.x would refer to version 4.0, and all it's updates, but would not refer to any later versions (upgrades).
You could also just drop the decimal altogether and simply call it "version 4," especially since that particular version is so incredibly outdated. IE 4? I think that's when most people were still using Netscape! |

Yup to what Downtown said.
Also, as far as I recall, there was no version of IE betweeen 4 and 5 which makes referring to IE 4.# or 4.x a bit odd. I think M$ were so determined to increase the version number to catch up with Nutscrape (after all, who wants to be using IE four when you can be using NS five?), they increased the big version number for any little fixes or additions they made. |
