I thought it was pretty common knowledge you never buy a Microsoft operating system version that ends in “point O”.

While it may be frustrations with Microsoft that brought that saying into prominence, that's pretty much true for any major piece of software. Always wait for version X.1 (or X.Y.1) or SP1, depending on how revisions are numbered.

You are, of course, correct. It's just that the downside is much steeper when you make that mistake with an operating system.
