All New Macs Ship with MacOS X

MacOS 9 'Classic' mode remains available

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.
