No, Tandy made Xenix for the Tandy 6000, SCO made Xenix for the Zenith
and other Intel computers.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

First off
your dates are grossly in error. MS in the persona of Gates
was involved in putting basic on the altair via MITS. When CP/M was
gaining ground as the dominent 8080/z80 OS microsoft was the dominent
language supplier. The majik system was a z80 running cp/m and MSbasic
compiler, MAC and L80, and maybe Multiplan.
Yep. I know that. But MS dominance didn't exactly happen overnight. They
didn't have much of a hold in anything until the IBM PC took off...
