Egghead Software Frees Up Space for MS-DOS 6 Arrival
Major national reseller places one of its largest initial
orders of newest version
of leading PC operating system
VANCOUVER, B.C. -- March 30, 1993 -- Microsoft Canada Inc.
today announced that the Canadian division of Egghead
Software has placed one of that company's largest initial
orders of the new MS-DOSr6 operating system.
"We've placed one of the largest orders for Microsoft's MS-
DOS in Canada because we believe its new features will make
it attractive to many consumers, small businesses and
corporations," said Kristin Whiteaker, general manager of
Egghead's retail, and corporate and government sales
operations in Canada. "The product includes a file
compression feature that we believe users will appreciate as
well as file backup and anti-virus utilities to allow them
to better manage their PCs."
"We are very appreciative of the support that Egghead has
demonstrated in MS-DOS 6 with this purchase agreement," says
Jackie Slemko, western region sales manager at Microsoft
Canada Inc., " and early indications such as this lead us to
anticipate that sales of MS-DOS 6 will most certainly exceed
those of MS-DOS 5."
The most significant advancement in the MS-DOS 6 Upgrade
package is DoubleSpace a data compression utility which
effectively doubles your hard disk capacity. Other
improvements include an anti-virus checker, better memory
management and a host of MS-DOS and Windows tools such as
Backup and Undelete.
