( As I write this (Dec. 2001), the cited article is now abstracted at:

"Performance Computing" (nee "Unix Review") magazine, which morphed into
an online serial, featured this topic-heading letter to the editor by me
in its last printed issue (January 2000)

	In "The Top UNIX Moments of the Century" (Dec. 1999),
	http://www.performance-computing.com/features/9912f2.shtml,
	you write:
	
		"The day Microsoft invented UNIX, the Internet,
		TCP/IP, and all other technologies we take for
		granted today..."

	A more serious, useful and honest entry might have noted
	that Microsoft's FIRST shipping operating system was
	UNIX-based XENIX (1980 on the PDP-11?), which even found
	its way onto the PC when the PC/AT was rolled out (1984).
	Of course, in the end Microsoft said no thanks and passed
	XENIX off to SCO, whom one notes also now owns the tradename
	"UNIX" via the USL assets.
