 The final beta of 5.0 was shipped last week...
they (microsoft) are shooting for a March release
date.  Also the "util" extras, like unformat,
unerase, and so forth may be taken out as per
requests from Central Point, Norton, etc, etc.  They
feel that some of the functions of 5.0 make their
utility programs useless.
 
Time will tell!
