I heard this too -- almost a year ago.

The Korn shell has been licensed to many commercial unixes. The guy who
wrote the korn shell has been making money for years selling ports of
unix programs rewritten for windoze, including the korn shell. I think
his company is MKS which stands for "Mortice Kern Systems".

I checked the MKS WWW site:

http://www.mks.com

and found no mention of the Korn shell being included in Windoze2K.
