I met about Coherent thanks a small article in the spanish edition of ComputerWorld[1]. I was 13 y/o and all my computer knowledge was about Basic, Pacal, DOS and Win3.1. Good times. I still remember the accompanying picture in the article, showing the windowing system with an astronaut picture in a window, some terminals and a file explorer. I think that picture inspired my view of what operating systems should be, more than everything I've seen since then.
Also, I recently stumbled upon Idris[2], which, as far as I know, predates Xenix and Coherent in the PC scene.
