Remembering Multics (OSViews)
Multics is an acronym for "Multiplexed Information and Computing Service." It was a timesharing operating system which began its life as far back as 1965. Although the OS is relatively unknown today, many might be surprised that the OS has several direct influences on many operating systems commonly used today."

No, they want us all to go back and be Multics users.

Actually, the Multics users could claim Unix SysV to be a derivative of Multics, and levy some serious tribute upon SCO.
