Bye Bye, OS9
I finally dumped OS9 today, five years after it was superseeded it’s finally useless. All our customers are now using apps that run nicely in OSX and for the old files that we have to reprint from time-to-time we have other Mac that still have OS9 on them.
Many people have berated OSX for it's complex GUI in comparison to the GUI in OS9. To be honest, OS9 was very simple and hence fast. But, and it’s a big but (Haha!), it's easy to forget how much more useful the GUI in OSX really is.

You forgot to mention memory management. In fact all the back-end stuff in OS X is light years ahead of OS 9.
Ah, I was only really talking about the front end, Everyone knows that the backend of OS9 is poor.
Except, of course, that's not true.
From any point of view!
OS X can run OS 9 through Classic but OS X has nothing to do with OS 9 apart from being produced by Apple.
Now as far as this being the end of OS 9, this website suggests the end will never come: http://www.os9forever.com/
System crashes? What’s that?
;0)
Classic Mode (OS9) can be launch from within OSX (yes, that’s 10).
Is that like how DOS can be launched in XP?
I literally have only ever had one kernel panic in 9 months of OS X running on a 5 year old machine.
There is no OS 9 in OS X unless you've installed it to run Classic. PERIOD!
