Xenix was one of the very few good products Micro$oft ever made. Stable
and reliable. WXXI had a Xenix-based automation that 'crossed the Y2K
barrier', and kept on going. This system ran for five years(!) without
needing a reboot, until the system was retired. (It was on a UPS, and
WXXI had unusually reliable power.)
