Xenix was a port of Version 7 UNIX from the PDP-11 to the 8086 by
a group at Microsoft that later split off to become Santa Cruz Operation:
Microsoft dropped Xenix, which was probably the best work they ever did,
and no longer has the people involved.

SCO later re-did the port using an early version of System V, and this
work was later merged in with SCO's SVR3 port to become Open Desktop.
