mmm... actually, last I heard MS was planning on releasing a DOS 6 would be
a pre-emptively multitasking, multithreaded etc etc environment (386 only)
thus providing an environment capable of implementing the full win32 specification
granted this now could be out of date cuz we all know how MS is..... (win32s - the
s standing for Subset - will run on top of dos 5, in win32 there are a bunch of
 priority, threading etc related calls which dos5 makes impossible)

The plan being to have windows run on High(NT), Middle(DOS6&windows4) and low(dos 5 &
windows 3.x) platforms thus allowing MS to establish global dictatorship... (whoops
that just kinda slipped in there... ;-) )
