One of the main advantages of purchasing the new System Software 5.0 release
(besides the ones mentioned in Chuq's response) is the printed documentation 
that comes with it. Apple has, in the past, documented System updates by 
including documentation on the disk (MacWrite files/TeachText), but it turns 
out that few people took the time to read them, and some people (including
dealers) simply threw the files away (and so consequently some people never
got them). The simple fact is that MultiFinder adds a whole new level of
complexity to the Mac that is difficult to deal with if you don't have a
manual (or Usenet) to refer to.
