You may have misheard this - I doubt that Microsoft has said this, since it's
not true.  There will be significant releases beyond DOS 5 involving major
new technology.  I apologise for speaking so vaguely, but the changes will
make DOS fit better into the Microsoft Windows/Network/OS2 strategy, yet will
be very useful to "ordinary" DOS users, as well.
