DOS 5.0: Best DOS Ever?
By July 1991, we had declared that DOS 5.0 was "unquestionably the best DOS ever." It had been nearly four years since DOS 4.0--a version we (in hindsight) called "hobbled by bugs, stiff memory requirements, and a difficult installation procedure." Thank heaven we hadn't called version 4.0 the "Best DOS Yet" upon its arrival.
