Electronic News from last week reported that Intel has dropped out of the Unix
operating system business.  They apparently "gave" their SVR4 to Interactive,
which will be releasing the ready to sell OS package in April (probably after
printing all new boxes and documentation with their name on it).

Since Intel dropped out of the Unix workstation market (because of complaints
from their processor chip customers), which would have used their own brand of
OS, and they only had a few hundred other Unix OS customers, they gave up on
the OS business altogether.
