This is the understatement of the decade. Of course it was more powerful. I used Xenix in 1987 on an IBM PC, probably a 80286. It was a Xenix/MS-DOS dual booting system. Multiuser and multitasking with Xenix or single user and monotask with MS-DOS.
I used various flavors of Unix on Z8000 or 68k architectures in those years. All of them were obviously better than MS-DOS.
