HP is moving to Linux in a big way.  Marketing acronyms are 
very important.  HP-UX will be remarketed as HP-Lux.  

Lux is an acceptable acronym, since HP will is partnering
with Red-Flag Linux from China, it also fits in with the 
Chinese psyche of "Luck".  

(Ever notice how many Chinese businesses manage to fit the 
word "Luck" into their legal name?  e.g. Lucky-Star, 
Lucky-Dragon, etc.)

Anyway, for obvious reasons, this will not work for MPE/LiX.
