Hold on to your manuals and disks until MS-DOS 5.0 is actually released.
Rumour has it that almost anything will be valid as an upgrade to DOS 5.0,
as was the case with Microsoft Windows 3.0.  If you can prove you breathe,
you can get an update.  Since this version of DOS will also be available
throught the retails channels, you may be able to upgrade through your 
local dealer.
