And then there was that other obscure software company ... quoting
from a contemporary brochure:
"Microsoft announces the XENIX Operating System, a 16-bit microprocessor
adaptation of Bell Laboratories' Version 7 UNIX system ... We're putting
the XENIX OS on the DEC PDP-11 [sic], Intel 8086, Zilog Z8000 and
Motorola 68000 ... The XENIX system's inherent flexibility, along
with this commitment from Microsoft, will make the XENIX OS the
standard operating system for the microcomputers of the eighties."
What a different world it could have been.
