Ben,

I have SCO Openserver 5.05, and it was based on Xenix if I remember
correctly.  It has Microsoft copyrights in it, that are visible while it
boots.  It is more than just in a text editor.

I was very disappointed when I saw that.  I bought it thinking I had
finally found something not touched by Microsoft.  Even my Apple //e has
been touched my Microsoft :-(
