Two other major vendors competing with Xenix were:
1. _*INTERACTIVE Systems Corp. (ISC)*_
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_Systems_Corporation> [founded
in 1977] with PC/IX, and later IS/3, etc.
2. _*Santa Cruz Operation (SCO)*_
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz_Operation> [founded in 1979]
with SCO UNIX, etc.
There were also a number of smaller players in this space.
