Superstitious Microsoft: Skipping Office 13?

The Microsoft Office product team uses code names for each release which is different from the Official product name. For example, the current release is internally referrred to as "Office 12" and the previous one was referred as "Office 11".

Following the tradition, the next version will have to be referred as "Office 13". Rumor has it that due to superstition surrounding the number "13", the next version might be referred to as "Office 14" instead. Here is the Wikipedia link on the Supersitions surrounding 13.

My take on this is that, I feel like working with bunch of idiots for believing in these. Whoever is making these calls is completely fked up for not believing in the value of hard work, innovation which is what matters.
