What I wrote was a combination of different stories I saw in 3-4
places. Currently I have only one of them, which is more a
prediction than a news:
http://www.techweb.com/yearend98/expect1.html
There was also a small item at LinuxToday, and 1 or more resources
I couldn't re-find. I'll try to re-find the other resources later.
In addition, there were some rumors spreading around the
newsgroups (though I saw the name "Winux" only on TechWeb).
Anyway, it looks too amazing to be true. Maybe a Christmas hoax.

Absolutely not! It seems that Microsoft didn't make a good search
before choosing the name (like in the case of Windows 2000 and like
Digital (Za"L) in the case of AltaVista). Somebody will make big
money, or MS will have to replace the name.
