A couple of questions about Microsoft and their UN*X look-alike:
1. Do I understand correctly that Microsoft's next version of UN*X
is going to be a "System V Release 2" clone?
If so:
A. Is it *done*? (i.e., Can I buy it yet?)
B. Will is run on an IBM-PC? (I heard a rumor that the
first releases will only run on AT&T's 6300).
C. Will present owners of XEN*X be allowed to upgrade
to the SYS V R2 version?
D. Does it come with uucp? (I'd sorta like to get netnews
at home).
2. My local computer store told me that XEN*X (Microsoft's current
UN*X-alike) has been 'turned over' to IBM by Microsoft. If so,
does this mean that their (Microsoft's) new UN*X-alike will be
called something other than XEN*X?
