     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?
