…. or at least they used to.  Misleading title aside, I just read up on this by follwing a link to Xenix from the MS-DOS entry on Wikipedia.  I haven’t been this scared in a long time.

Straight from the article:

Xenix was Microsoft’s version of Unix intended for use on microcomputers; since Microsoft was not able to license the “UNIX” name itself, they gave it an original name. The -ix ending follows a convention used by many other Unix-like operating systems.

Currently there are several “Xenix” bibles on ebay for sale [Search Results]
