===Superstition=== *The Office 2007 release of Microsoft Office had an internal version number of 12. The next version, Office 2010, has an internal version of 14, due to superstitions surrounding [[13 (number)|the number 13]].<ref name="Super Site for Windows">{{cite web|url=http://www.winsupersite.com/office/office2010_faq.asp|title=Office 2010 FAQ|author=Paul Thurrott|date=May 14, 2009|access-date=December 30, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090419113856/http://www.winsupersite.com/office/office2010_faq.asp|archive-date=April 19, 2009}}</ref> Visual Studio 2013 is Version number 12.0 of the product, and the new version, Visual Studio 2015 has the Version number 14.0 for the same reasons. *[[Roxio Toast]] went from version 12 to version 14, likely in an effort to skip the superstitions surrounding the number 13. *[[Corel]]'s [[WordPerfect Office]], version 13 is marketed as "X3" ([[Roman numerals|Roman number]] 10 and "3"). The procedure has continued into the next version, X4. The same has happened with Corel's Graphic Suite (i.e. [[CorelDRAW]], [[Corel Photo-Paint]]) as well as its [[video editing software]] "Video Studio". *[[Sybase]] skipped major versions 13 ''and'' 14 in its Adaptive Server Enterprise relational database product, moving from 12.5 to 15.0. * [[ABBYY FineReader|ABBYY]] Lingvo Dictionary uses numbering 12, x3 (14), x5 (15). * SUSE Linux Enterprise skipped version 13 and 14 after version 12 and directly released SLES 15 in July 2018.
