I found this UUCP map….
http://ru.arf.ru/Svid/iga_app.html

with 'DOS' appearing 51 times, vs Xenix appearing 12 times.

Also I read somewhere that it was 'policy' that if the software wasn't sold in the soviet union, even the government would pirate it?

At least in Siberia DOS, OS/2, Netware and VAX OSes ruled the World. After earlier betas of Chicago, most of DOS and consequently Netware installations were replaced with Win95.

Never saw Xenix. It was like a legend – "there is a Unix from Microsoft".

Also I see that once Xenix 386 was released this was the biggest thing to hit the old Soviet Union… Or so some people say.

This version of Qemu is certainly looking up!
