This summarizes the various editions of D&D:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edition...ns_%26_Dragons
3.0 and 3.5 was an open source system. Paizo published
Dragon and
Dungeon magazine, apart from Wizards. When Wizards decided to publish 4.0, they ended open source, and published
Dragon and
Dungeon themselves on-line only. Paizo decided to keep 3.5 alive by publishing
Pathfinder, which is compatible with all the old 3.5 books. Pathfinder has its own campaign setting, Golarian.

Pathfinder would be more familiar to old D&D players than 4.0.
I'm nostalgic for 1st edition AD&D - we did the big TSR campaign, Slave Lords, Giants, Drow.
