Nope, I think it's "UWM, the free window manager that comes from MIT."  I
understand that HP has a window manager (which they probably provide with
their products) that has title bars and all that stuff.  I assume that
other companies will also offer specialized window managers, since it's one
way to have a distinctive appearance to what is basically a standardized
product.

Again, since he's in Berlin right now, I'll answer for Jordan.  The Hubbard
AWM is basically a UWM with title bars and all kinds of (configurable)
little buttons and gadgets in the title bars that let you do resizes and
moves and whatnot by grabbing the appropriate gadget -- sort of like WM.

AWM *has not* been released yet, and won't be for another month or so.
