MS-DOS 5.0 came in April 1991, and DR DOS 6.0 was released the following June.

"MS-DOS" can also be a generic reference to DOS on IBM PC compatible computers.

The magazine predicted that "When it's complete and bug-free, when it can really use the 80386, and when more desktops sport OS/2-capable PCs, OS/2 will—deservedly—supersede DOS.
