[comp.windows.x] it was a JOKE

    Since NC-17 (please call it X15 to avoid
    confusion) has been scheduled so far away, please consider writing it
    in C++.

There is no X12, there is no NC-17.  Do so many people believe everything
they read?

    I don't know what the current status of X is, but if it is still under
    the auspices of MIT,

Yes, it is.

    it would be a great educational experience for
    the implementers, many of whom I expect are students,

No, none of them are.  We have never relied on students for mainstream
development.
