Assuming, of course that you intend to help Microsoft's cash flow by
upgrading to MS-DOS 6.0 when all it seems to offer (from what I hear)
is MS-DOS 5.0 with some extra utilities like drive compression that I
already have.  I think I'll wait for MS-DOS 7.0 before I upgrade
(assuming I'm still bothering to run DOS).

>(Stacker 3.0 is what I use and will continue to use)

Me, too.
