Well, according to the latest PC Week, MS is saying goodbye to
DOS and Windows 3.x in favor of NT.  Since IBM gave up DOS
for OS/2, maybe Quarterdeck will pick up DOS and develop
it into a real op sys.  DESQview is by far the best MSDOS
multitasker in existence, and Quarterdeck would probably be
the best company to make DOS into something useful.
