Next Office is Office 14 and not Office 13 - "13 is unlucky"
As stated, the codename for the upcoming release of Office, currently slated for a 2009/2010 release timeframe, is Office 14. Eric Vigesaa, Program Manager for Office system client applications, stated “Well, 13 is unlucky, so we’re calling it Office 14,”.
In lieu of the aforementioned, a lot of the innovations that go into the Office System are long-term investments which build upon the foundation and functionality delivered in previous releases; in this case, Office 14 will initially take away and benefit from Office 12 (= Office 2007).
