[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Dos 4.0 Really that bad?

Someone recently posted that Dos 4.0 is about the buggiest Dos out there...

...Well gosh, I got stuck with it (IBM Dos) when I bought my computer. Does
anyone know if it's REALLY screwed up?  I.E...should I seriously get 4.01 NOW,
or is it not that big of a deal....The computer does freaky things...that might
be why...

One thing for sure, 4.0 will not support DOS extension, which is a must for
some CD-ROM product.  I don't 4.01 will do it or not.
