An invention attributed to Bill Gates.  It is supposed to look and sound 
similar to a prior innovation whose purpose is misunderstood by most 
people.  What it really means is not exactly clear at this time but it has 
something to do with an ability, or lack thereof, to clean up many 
inherited messes.

Polymophism may show up in Win97.  But why wait when there is NT?
