Yes, because they bought NeXT, adopted that OS, and renamed it.  They
could have continued compatibility, as shown by the fact that they did.

That is the major reason they bought NeXT, so they could scrap Mac OS 9
and start from scratch.

And there was nothing wrong with that - because of "Classic", a
compatibility layer that allowed you to execute MacOS 9 applications on
OS X.

This was a nice working software, and I really don't understand why
Apple ever stopped supporting it. They should even have ported it to
Intel IMO - would have gotten them a few more hardware sales.

not enough to justify keeping it. 

by the time classic ceased to exist, practically nobody was using it.
porting it to intel would have required emulating 68k in addition to
powerpc, which is a lot of work for little gain.

It probably became too costly (and not just monetarily) to continue
supporting Classic in OS X. If I need to run classic versions of Mac OS,
I use SheepShaver or Basilisk II. You can also get 10.6 up and running
in VirtualBox to use Classic if desired.

With you so far. (I have two working older Macs for that purpose, and
since about 2005 have not had a need for running Mac OS 9 while away
from home or work, so I haven't bothered with an emulator.)

> You can also get 10.6 up and running in VirtualBox to use Classic if

Pardon?

1. Classic didn't run on 10.5, so 10.6 is well out of the picture.

2. Classic only worked on PowerPC Macs. VirtualBox provides a virtual
Intel Mac, and 10.6 is Intel only. Even if you got 10.4 working in
VirtualBox, it wouldn't give you Classic.

Running Mac OS 9.0.4 or earlier via a PowerPC emulator such as
Sheepshaver is feasible. Running the Classic environment in PowerPC Mac
OS X 10.4 or earlier on an Intel Mac is not possible, because there are
no PowerPC Mac emulators which support Mac OS X as the guest OS.

Brain fart. I'm not sure what I was thinking at the time, as I was in a
hurry to get out the door. Sorry.

Yep, only the drawback is it's nowhere near as stable as the real
thing. : (

So I heard, which is why I said "is feasible" rather than "works well".

Having a real Mac able to run the older system (space and convenience
permitting) is better.

Yeah. Though I have to say in my experience, stability issues aren't
actually all that common. It usually comes down to a particular
application crashing during launch (sometimes crashing the OS as well),
or a certain feature not working correctly. In general if the
application doesn't crash during launch, chances are it'll function just
fine in SheepShaver / Basilisk II.

> Having a real Mac able to run the older system (space and convenience

Definitely. I keep a trusty old beige PowerMac G3 and some even older
models in the closet for such occasions.

Frightening.  OS 8 and OS 9 were both crash-o-rama spectaculars for me.  
OS X 10.0.3 was the only reason I stayed with Macs.  The improvement in 
stability was so dramatic.

you must be kidding. 10.0 was a complete mess. it was buggy, horribly
slow and functionally incomplete. 

mac os 8 and 9 rarely crashed unless you ran buggy apps. if you didn't
run buggy apps, they were rock solid.

And yet, it was still a lot more useful than MacOS 8. When apps crashed
in OS X, the entire OS didn't go with them.

I basically never ran MacOS 9, but I wasn't very happy with MacOS 8.

no it wasn't. 

it was nothing more than a technology demo. it was not usable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_10.0#Criticism_and_Problems>
  €   Interface Responsiveness ‹ The brand-new Aqua interface was
  sluggish at best. It was heavily criticized for its slow application
  launch speed and user interface response speed. The interface
  response times compared to earlier Apple operating systems showed
  that Mac OS X still had a long way to go in terms of interface
  performance.
  €   Stability ‹ While Œtheoretical¹ stability in Mac OS X was much
  better than stability in Mac OS 9,[citation needed] Mac OS X was
  riddled with fatal bugs that caused kernel panics, especially in
  complex hardware setups.
  €   Missing Features and Hardware Compatibility Issues ‹ Another
  reason for criticism were the missing features, especially missing
  DVD playback, as well as CD burning, both of which had been available
  in the prior version of Mac OS. Mac OS X v10.0.2 included the
  necessary software frameworks to allow iTunes 1.1.1 to provide audio
  CD burning support, but data CD burning had to wait until version
  10.1. There were also several issues in respect to missing printer
  and other hardware drivers.

I started using OS X witht eh PB. It was very usable.

That is all true. But the simple fact that I could drop to the command
line and I could crash apps without rebooting were all worth any
sluggishness.

10.0 crashed less than MacOS 8 for me. And the elimination of
ConflictCatcher was a huge boon.

Meh. Minor issue for me, and quickly added back anyway.

Ack.
                other software companies        Apple

Features missing        alpha                   10.0 Cheetah

Feature complete,
but major bugs          beta                    10.1 Puma

First release,
with minor bugs         1.0                     10.2 Jaguar

Second release,

I switched with 10.2.3 or so, had 2 partitions on my Powerbook Titanium
so I could natively boot MacOS 9 which ran circles around Jaguar.

10.0 was slow, improved a lot with 10.0.3, but it was stable.

Not on any of my computers.  At least one system failure and reboot in a 
two hour period was normal.  8 & 9 sucked big time IME.  I started 
running NetBSD on one Mac just to try to find something I could be 
productive using (NetBSD was a bridge too far for me, though).

I found classic MacOS pretty stable, actually. Unless I used third party
extensions- then stability started going down. It paid to be very
careful and sparing in that regard, as a result. Which was tough since
there were so many useful and fun extensions *sigh*

Plus buggy as hell apps like Internet Explorer for Mac made life hell.
Mac IE would nearly always corrupt my Internet Config prefs upon
crashing, which made it 10 times as bad.
