What can OS 9 do that OS 8.6 can't?
Speed: pretty similar, if anything a little slower. Compatability: Fine with most software, I think I have come across a couple of old Shareware utilities that don't work. All current software should run. Stability: Much improved since 8.x. For me System 9.x has been the most stable system my Mac has seen prior to OS X. The only crashes I get are usually Microsoft software (this is not MS bashing, it is true). Finale: No problems I can see.
