Why?

Win 95, 98, XP are all one license, right? So why would OS 9 and OS X be separate?

Probably because the Mac builds are two separate engines, which require different compiles and separate amounts of time and resources to put together. They really are different products and they need to be downloaded separately. Combined in the OS 9 engine are versions that work with both 68K and PPC versions of Mac OS; so for classic Mac you actually get dual duty.


The Windows product is a single unified engine, requiring only one build cycle, that works with all Win32 products. If it were possible to combine Classic Mac OS and OS X into a single engine, then the Mac engine would more closely approximate the Windows engine -- but this can't be done.
