That isn't a fair statement. The SCO Xenix products are designed
to run on STANDARD IBM-PC hardware. The Sun 386i uses a custom
video display card to do the "four Dos-Windows in VGA" trick.
Also, X Windows doesn't require VGA, but EGA resolution is very
limiting. The IBM-PC RT systems already have X Windows with an EGA
display driver, but it is slow!
