History

Neowin began as a hobby in October 2000 by Marcel Klum and Steven Parker & Lee Logan, known within the forums as "Redmak" "Neobond" & "Cr1t1cal" respectively, reporting news about the Windows XP alpha and beta releases (then known as "Windows Codename Whistler").

Neowin has broken several stories, including the leak of Windows 2000 source code onto the internet.[5][6]
