Macs Won't Boot Into Mac OS in 2003

Posted by pudge on from the no-booting-for-you dept.

Magnus Olsson writes "Apple announced at Apple Expo in Paris, that they are dropping the ability to boot into Mac OS after January 2003. It will still be possible to access Mac OS via the Classic environment under Mac OS X." Apparently, eWeek was right, and the final nail is being driven. So, where's mol for Mac OS X?

    Short list of non-games that won't run under Classic:
    • Norton Disk Doctor (I shouldn't have to buy the new version to repair an external drive that was formatted by OS 9, especially since every new version of NDD seems to destroy data for the first few months after its release)
    • Delorme Street Atlas USA
    • Virtual PC 4.x
