- It is also noteworthy that the Gateway "upgrades" for MSDOS 5.0 and Windows
- 3.1 are "full-fledged" versions, not the "requires previous version to be
- installed on your machine" flavor. I also like to "cow spots" on the
- diskette labels.

- Since these are OEM versions, you go to Gateway for tech support, rather
- than to Microsoft. Having attempted to get tech support from Microsoft on
- the DOS 5 upgrade (which I bought prior to the Gateway version), this might
- be a blessing.
