Hi all,

Well i once had the same thought, what happened between 12 and 15 !? and
then i found this...

"The latest Cisco IOS version was 12.4 until recently when Cisco IOS
version 15.0 was introduced. Have you noticed the jump from version 12 to
15? Do you wonder why versions 13 and 14 were skipped? Well, rumors say
that Cisco avoided those version numbers because 13 is considered unlucky
in the Western Culture and 14 is also considered unlucky in the Asian
culture !!"

So.. :) It's safe to say that after 12 comes 15 :)

Best regards.
