I had thought this was well-known, based on comments made last year by Steve Jobs, but apparently not everyone was paying close attention... or is as obsessive about this kind of stuff as I am. But now it is official the PowerPC emulator (Rosetta) on the Intel Macs does not support MacOS 9 (Classic) applications. "So what?" you think. "MacOS 9 has been dead for almost half a decade!" Well, maybe so, but there is still a wealth of older Mac software whose developers never updated to MacOS X. My mother has a cornucopia of MacOS 9 games that she loves and Online Bible still has not updated to X, despite promising for 4 or 5 years not that "a MacOS X version is coming in the next 3 months, and will be a free upgrade."
Oh, well. Not a shock, but what a coup it could have been. Especially if Classic still ran 680x0 apps. Then you could have had a huge multi-emulation environment. Intel, emulating PowerPC, emulating MacOS 9, emulating 680x0.
