MICROSOFT OFFICE 13

Microsoft to skip "unlucky" Office 13



Microsoft is showing a just a touch of Triskaidekaphobia and will skip Office 13 and instead start work straight on Office 14 now that Office 2007 is out the door.
We're sure that Microsoft's massive Office team had a few days off once Office 2007 was signed off and sent for DVD duplication, but they're now well underway shaping the next version of Office suite.
Right now it's just called Office 14 - Microsoft has long eschewed fancy codenames for the Office suite, instead favouring the simpler version number of each release.
Office 2007 was officially version 12 of the suite, so next up should be Office 13, "but that's is an unlucky number so we're going to skip Office 13 and call the next one Office 14" says Jensen Harris, Group Program Manager for Microsoft's Office User Experience Team and the man behind the radical ribbon interface of Office 2007.
So Even Microsoft are supersticious

They must be afraid it will only sell as many copies as the previous version. The markup for the new one will ensure they make more either way

This sort of nonsense does make me smile. Someone should tell them whatever they call it it's still the 13th one. It's almost as daft as using a link to wikipedia as "proof" of your facts (Giggity titter)

Actually, for Windows, Office 2007 was v12 and Office 2010 was v14.
For Mac (whoever the hell uses one of those?), Office 2008 was v12 and Office 2011 was v14.
Still, i have no idea what this original poster is on about since this happened a couple of years ago (two second google search revealed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Microsoft_Office).
Welcome back to the future @paulie0550!
