when this is seen as true I will beleive it.  The fact of the matter that
what is being proposed is that Xenix will be made compatible.  Microsoft
will continue to try to give there product unique features.  If they don't
then what excuse do they have for existing.  Please note that not everyone
who buys System V/AT or System V/386 does so for price reasons, some of us
do it because we want a system that conforms more closely AT&T (I'm still
waiting for 4.4 BSD/386)
