Microsoft Xenix



The first thing that I have to say is that I haven't ever seen this OS.

Once upon a time, a company named Microsoft tried to write a UNIX clone. They called it Xenix. It happened that it was not a fortunate name. The only (good) thing I can tell you about it is that it works on a 286. Of course it was written in the well-known Microsoft way: not compatible with anything :-^))

Anyhow Microsoft dropped this scheme, that is to say they sold it to Santa Cruz Operation and have continued to develop the shamed MSDOS for 15 years :-((
