Your comment is right on time! :) I don't like marketing speak either, but IntelliSense looks good to me. The feature is called IntelliSense and Visual Studio users know what it means and does. It's called that in the documentation, not just the marketing materials. Since the section targets Windows users, I'd use the terms they are familiar with. We could say "code completion" instead, but AFAIK IntelliSense includes other features besides code completion. And I'd say IntelliSense for the same reason I'd say Apache HTTP Server (httpd) instead of Apache Web Server or Apache Subversion instead of the Apache version-control system. -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin
