'''Unix''' is a family of related or similar multi-tasking operating systems originally developed by [[Bell Labs]] in the late 1960s and 1970s for [[mini-computers]], such as the [[PDP-11]]. Unix was developed by [[C (programming language)|C]] programmers, probably because C was also developed by Bell Labs. "Unix has never really made any inroads on the desktop."
Over time improvements to Unix were developed by others under license from AT&T. They used the AT&T source code but generally did not use its Unix trademark. Important examples from the 1980s include [[BSD]], [[SunOS]] and [[Xenix]].
