If code-names for future Microsoft products like "Avalon," "Indigo," "Whidbey" and "Springboard" occasionally draw a blank for you, you're in good company. Even Microsoft's own chief software architect Bill Gates falls behind on the terminology sometimes.
Gates admitted as much during his Office System launch keynote in New York on Tuesday. Demonstrating the new Research Pane functionality for Office programs such as Word, Gates showed how he uses the feature internally at Microsoft to stay up to date.
