Possibly, but am I not right in detecting a waning interest in Classic on Apple's part? After all anyone doing an Erase-and-Install of Tiger had to ensure they had their own version of OS9.2 to install before they could enable Classic. Apple did not provide it on the install DVD even though there was space. Have purchasers of new machines with Tiger preloaded all received OS9.2 to run Classic? The option to boot in OS9 seems to have been withdrawn on new Macs. It certainly suggests to me that the view from Cupertino is that Classic has already done its job, which was to minimise the hurdles to upgrading to OSX.
