Holy crap. The article linked to here ( http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/never-mind-vista-heres-fiji-and-... ) says at the bottom "via slashdot."

The Slashdot blurb ( http://it.slashdot.org/it/06/12/30/1524255.shtml ) summarizes a blog entry.

The blog entry ( http://www.pclaunches.com/industry_buzz/looking_beyond_microsoft_vi... ) has a link to its source.

The source is here: http://jameskyton.wordpress.com/2006/12/29/beyond-windows-vista-fij...

As things get linked over and over they tend to pick up more credibility. Of course OSNews is going to link to Endgadget instead of a blog with a single (at the time) entry written by someone whose name appears nowhere else on the internet.

Now all we need is for someone to link to this cool OSNews entry for info on Fiji and Vienna. Why not track things down to their source? It'd make it a lot easier to decide how credible the whole thing is (at this point, not very credible). People on Slashdot were complaining about that, and we are now two layers further removed.
