As of their release 2.2, which is still based on Sys V.3.2, Interactive
changed the name of their product to "INTERACTIVE UNIX" rather than 386/ix.
They fortunately never released anything called 486/ix.

Apparently until a year or so ago AT&T didn't license the unix name at all,
then changed their minds so that many of the licensees changed their product
names to include the name "unix."
