[Mackenzie and Jon pointed out the history of Xenix]

Well, I'll be damned--guess it did slip by me. I'd heard of Xenix and
that it became SCO Unix, but didn't know its origin. Perhaps I've
subconsciously repressed any memories associated with SCO.

Thanks for setting me straight. Microsoft, for a while the biggest
Unix vendor--who'da thunk it? Shame they apparently never actually
looked at it or learned from it.

More details here in case anyone else is as ignorant  as I:
