OS 9 is DEAD!

psyjax:
That's what Jobs said this morning.

He also officialy introduced the new OS X:

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2002/may/06jaguar.html

Sounds cool. Only thing is that iChat crap.

I hope when they say integrated, they don't mean IE iintegrated. I don't want to have to tear it out with a pair of dental pliers.

I must have missed something when i read the page. I
didn't see Jobs say that at all. I was under the
impression that people that use a Mac still needed OS
9 for older programs. That that was the reason OS 9 is
still shipped with new Mac computers.

One other thing if I may? Buy a Mac now, or wait for
the G5?? I know that it is supposed to be some time
before the G5 is out but I was just wondering.


(I wanted my first post to be something wonderful -
but this was all I could think of)

Look for the anouncement on the main page. It has a description of the Expo and some links.

G5 is supposed to be the next big release. But for now, it's vaporware. Tho, rumer has it they top 2ghz.

I guess that's cool. But I don't see why 1Ghz is not adequet for the avarege user? Hell Why isn't 500Mhz?

Classic is quite enough for running most pre-X applications. This announcement is solely meant for developers, not users -- it's unlikely Mac OS 9 third party dev will stop, this is Steve's way of getting us all to port our crap to Carbon.

I know I sure won't miss Classic, however, especially the applications-crashing-other-applications hoo-ha.

ravuya:
Did you know that X's Classic emulator runs 68k code faster than running it in Mac OS 9 would?
