	Wikipedia: W
		W is the twenty-third letter of the modern Latin alphabet.
		W was invented in the 7th century by Anglo-Saxon writers, it was originally a double U (hence its English name, because the /w/ sound was spelled "uu").
		In the Swedish and Finnish alphabets, "W" is seen as a variant of "V" and not a separate letter.

	W
		W was invented in the 7th century by Anglo-Saxon writers, it was originally a double V (which also represented U—hence its English name "Double U", because the /w/ sound was spelled "vv").
		In German—like in Romance—the phoneme /w/ was lost, this is why German W represents /v/ rather than /w/.
		In Dutch, W is an approximant (with the exception of words with EEUW, which have [-e:w]).

	The Y Window System
		The Y Window System is intended to be a successor to, naturally enough, the X Window System.
		The naming is consistent with past events: X was successor in name and concept to the W Window System.
		W was developed at Stanford and originally ran under the V operating system.

	nanogui@linuxhacker.org: 2126: Re: W Window system? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I have reviewed W, albeit a little quickly, and here is my assessment: o W is an older technology, and was mostly completed in 1996.
		W does not have a sophisticated design in regards to screen, mouse and kbd drivers, and many routines are duplicated for the w2xlib (W to Xlib) layer, which enables W to run on X. The architecture doesn't allow for exact duplication under X, instead, for instance, the entire pie routine is replaced.
		W's driver architecture is ill-suited towards adding the 1 thru 32 bpp framebuffer drivers that will be required to run on arbitrary embedded linux installations.

	Kenton Lee: X Window System Technical Glossary
		The colormap associated with a window is used to display the contents of the window; each pixel value indexes the colormap to produce an RGB value that drives the guns of a monitor.
		Window A occludes window B if both are mapped, if A is higher in the global stacking order, and if the rectangle defined by the outside edges of A intersects the rectangle defined by the outside edges of B. Note the distinction between occludes and obscures.
		A pixel is an N-bit value, where N is the number of bit planes used in a particular window or pixmap (that is, is the depth of the window or pixmap).

		The server may be an application displaying to a window of another display system, it may be a system program controlling the video output of a PC or it may be a dedicated piece of hardware.
		A window manager is used to control the placement and appearance of application windows.
		The term "X Windows" (in the manner of "Microsoft Windows") is officially deprecated and generally considered incorrect, though it has been in common use since the inception of X and has been used deliberately for literary effect, for example in the UNIX-HATERS Handbook.

		The X Window System is a window environment supporting a graphical user interface for the display of boxed-off parts of the screen.
		The X Window System utilizes a base system defined by a network protocol (the ‘X’ protocol) rather than the well-established procedure or kernel call used in other window environments.
		These experts were interested in developing a network-transparent graphical user interface for the Unix operating system to facilitate the “debugging of multiple distributed processes.” Principal developers of the original X Window System were Robert Scheifler and Ron Newman of MIT and Digital Equipment Corporation’s Jim Gettys.

		In general, such systems are known as windowing systems.
		X Window is primarily used in networks of interconnected mainframes, minicomputers, and workstations.
		The X Window System was the result of research efforts in the early 1980s at Stanford University and MIT, aided by IBM, to develop a platform-independent graphics protocol.

	The X-Windows Disaster
		A wizardly hacker, who was familiar with W, a window system written at Stanford University as part of the V project, decided to write a distributed graphical display server.
		At the mere mention of network window systems, certain propeller gheads who confuse technology with economics will start foaming at the mouth about their client/server models and how in the future palmtops will just run the X server and let the other half of the program run on some Cray down the street.
		An extensible window server was precisely the strategy taken by the NeWS (Network extensible Window System) window system written by James Gosling at Sun.

	[Chapter 1] 1.31 The X Window System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In 1988, an organization called the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) X Consortium was formed to promote and develop a vendor-neutral windowing system called the X Window System.
		(It was called "X" because it was a follow-on to a window system called "W" that was developed at Stanford University.) The organization eventually moved away from MIT; now it's called the X Consortium.
		A window system is a way of dividing up the large screen of a workstation into multiple virtual terminals, or windows.

	X Window System Network Performance
		When the transmit window is closed, the assumption is that the receiver is blocked for some reason, rather than the network.
		The acknowledged data and available window are drawn by connected sequences of horizontal and vertical segments surrounding the packets themselves.
		The Metacity window manager found this technique valuable, and it is planned for the GTK+ toolkit, to mitigate problems in drag and drop as well as startup time.

	W
		The W boson is an elementary particle, having an electric charge of just ±1, a mass of 80.4110 GeV (about 80 times the proton's mass), and weak isospin of the same.
		The combination of the SU(2) gauge theory describing the W and Z, the electromagnetic interaction, and the Higgs mechanism is known as the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model.
		W was originally developed at Stanford University by Paul Asente and Brian Reid, and originally ran under V. In 1983, Paul Asente and Chris Kent ported the system to UNIX on the VS100, giving a copy to those working at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science.
