[luau] Thiz Linux

[W. Wayne Liauh]

I bet no one heard "Thiz Linux" before, but I just came across this news:

"(June 11, 2002, Hong Kong) - Thiz Technology Group Limited ("Thiz" or 
the "Group"; stock code: 8119) today announced the signing of a 
cooperation agreement with Taiwan International Business Machine Company 
Limited ("Taiwan IBM") to further expand Thiz's Taiwan business.

"According to the agreement, Taiwan IBM will purchase not less than 
600,000 sets of Thiz Office and Thiz Linux Desktop software. Together 
with IBM software, the name for the software set will be Super Office 
Suite (SOS) and the product will be co-branded by Thiz and IBM. The 
software set is sold as the following ways: box set to target the retail 
market; licenses as computing solutions for corporations; and bundling 
licenses accompanying IBM computers. It is expected that this contract 
will bring over HK$10 million revenue to the Group."
