By '82 ish MS was the business PC OS on IBM and had leased the rights (or
sold) Xenix to a lot of other companies including Apple.  Xenix was to
remain the most widespread version of Unix for the next 20 years until SCO
bought it and replaced it with  their Unix.

Obviously MS realised where the money was and within a year or two had the
MS mouse available and were moving strongly into the PC market.
