[net.micro.pc] Some questions about MS DOS 5.x

luke@tom.columbia.edu (Luke McCormick) (08/06/86)

I've been seeing a growing amount of discussion (mostly in InfoWorld) about
the impending release of MS-DOS 5.0, the most recent of which seems to suggest
that it will be released "first quarter 87".  Does anybody have any idea when
I can reasonably expect to get my hands on this beast?  It has many features
that would make my life a LOT easier, like multitasking and > 640K memory
support.  However, I have to make a number of hardware purchasing decisions
NOW, so I'd like to have an idea about how strongly I should factor the
impending arrival of 5.0 into my decisions.  Any thoughts?
