The work being done with Microsoft is BASED on the HP X Widgets.
The UNIX Today article is referring to the XrLib (or XRay) that 
HP developed for X10.  We have ported XrLib to X11, but are 
concentrating on the Xt Intrinsics and the HP X Widgets as our toolkit 
platform for X11.

We will definitely be moving the HP X Widgets to R3 of the intrinsics 
as they(intrinsics) stablize.  In our response to the OSF RFT, we 
endorse the core component effort of the MIT X Consortium.  Bob Miller, 
our project manager for toolkits, is the current chair of that group.

Our intention is to continue our commitment to donating key portions
of our software development to MIT and the X community.
