As of Monday, January 7, all new Apple Macintosh computers began shipping with
MacOS X, Apple's next generation operating system. However, Apple will continue
to install the prior operating system, MacOS 9.2.2, so that users can run software
in Classic mode if they wish.
This configuration is similar to prior configurations except that MacOS X is
set as the primary operating system. Users may still restart in MacOS 9 if they
wish.
To boot into MacOS 9 from MacOS X, select "System Preferences..."
from the Apple menu and click "Startup Disk." Click the MacOS 9 folder
that appears in the list and then click the "Restart" button to reboot
into MacOS 9.
