The RAM disk was badly flawed, people would often lose their data and poor buffer settings when dealing with files larger than 32 megabytes, caused severe disk corruption. Also, 4.0 was based on IBMâ€s code base, not Microsoftâ€s. Many people purchasing new computers demanded DOS 3.3 be installed instead. "
