Microsoft reverted to using 'MSDOS5.0' on later disks. It was heavily criticized as buggy by the media, primarily due to file corruption issues with DoubleSpace and the lack of tools to repair such issues.Note that the boot sector OEM ID of 'MSDOS6.0' is correct and genuine. MS-DOS 6.0 includes many new utilities and features, including a disk defragmenter, disk compression, anti-virus, a new backup system, and pc-pc file transfer tools.
