OS 9 Dead, Boot to X Only in 2003
By Remy Davison, Insanely Great Mac
September 10th 2002
Jobs seeks to push developers away from OS 9/X joint development entirely, while Kevin
Browne welcomes the move.
As previously reported on IGM and elsewhere, Macs will no longer be able to boot into
OS 9 in 2003, according to a story posted at Maccentral.
While not an official announcement by Apple, MacCentral says that Expo attendees in
Paris were informed by Apple employees that 2003 Macs would not be able to boot into
OS 9, although Classic would remain an available in OS X.
The article quotes Kevin Browne, General Manager of Microsoft''s MacBU, as being
pleased that has Apple adopted this decisive shift to OS X.
Analysis: We note Kevin Browne''s back from holidays and wonder how much influence he
and the MacBU had in determining this decision from Apple. Given the relatively
impolite exchanges he and Phil Schiller had on the subject some weeks back, it''s
probably all the better Phil is safely tucked away in San Francisco at Seybold.
