NeWS
 /nee'wis/, /n[y]oo?is/, /n[y]ooz/, n.

    [acronym; the ?Network Window System?] The road not taken in window
    systems, an elegant PostScript-based environment that would almost
    certainly have won the standards war with X if it hadn't been 
    proprietary to Sun Microsystems. There is a lesson here that too many
    software vendors haven't yet heeded. Many hackers insist on the
    two-syllable pronunciations above as a way of distinguishing NeWS from
    Usenet news (the netnews software).

   System.
