Answer 2

You need to understand that when they write the abbreviation vs##, then ## is the version number and it does not match the year.
The exception to vs10, where the version number coincided with the year in the name, is Visual Studio 2010.
Accordingly, vs11 is 2012, vs12 is 2013. vs14 is still far away.
You can also see the version number next to the solution file icon. However, even here ms manages to confuse, in Visual Studio 2013 they did not increase the version in the sin file so that it opens without changes in both 2012 and 2013 studios.
To summarize, if you do not want confusion, it is better to indicate the year in its entirety, so it is unambiguous.
