Mikael,
Note this from OS X developer documentation.
Overview of the Classic Environment
To the Mac OS 9 operating system that it hosts, Classic appears as a new
hardware platform. It implements hardware services using the Mac OS X
kernel environment (particularly the I/O Kit). The Classic environment is
not an emulator; Mac OS 9 runs natively in it. It is visually and
functionally compatible with the rest of Mac OS X so that to users�with
the exceptions noted in "Integration With Mac OS X")�it is largely
indistinguishable from the other environments of Mac OS X.

But there isn't an OSX application called "Classic" is there.
