It seemed more like they lost interest the moment it was released.
- arethuza 10y agoI remember working on 286 based systems with multiple users on serial terminals running SQL based database applications.
- cstross 10y agoI worked as a tech author on the release notes for the last shipped release of Xenix, SCO Xenix 2.3.4, in late 1991. The Microsoft legacy lingered in SCO's codebase for a long time -- the MS C compiler was standard right through Open Server (disclaimer: I left in 1995 and happily never had to use that festering dungheap ever again, much less write and maintain chunks of the docset for it).
- Turing_Machine 10y agoI used to make some decent side money maintaining a Xenix records and billing system for a local doctor. It's been a long time, but I remember the system as being pretty solid.
