Microsoft has added a feature to it's DOS 5.00.409c ßeta test version that indicates it will either release DOS 5.00 by July 1, 1991 or place another ßeta test version into the test pipeline before that date. The enclosed text files were supplied by Microsoft with DOS 5.00.409c. As they reveal this DOS version is being readied for the power 80386 & 80486 market. It will, however, speedup an 80286 machine, but not allow high memory management. 8086 & 8088 users would be better off using DOS 3.3 or 4.01.
