This was certainly true before 1986; I joined Project Athena in April of
1986 and this was quite well established by then.
And it was no real surprise when IBM killed off AOS. AIX was already
"product" and there was no commercially installed base for RT/PC systems
worth mentioning ... (part of my job at the time was to identify and
document the differences)

I'm not sure; this would have been in the 1985--1987 time frame.

Well, it perhaps would have been more accurate that IBM had decided to that
AIX was the future, and had defunded the AOS group.
