Apple today confirmed that several of its computers would be able to boot into Mac OS 9 until June 2003, reports MacCentral. “To accommodate a minority of our pro customers still running Mac OS 9 applications such as QuarkXPress, Apple will continue to offer a 1.25 GHz dual processor Power Mac that will boot into Mac OS 9 until June 30, 2003,” Apple said in a statement. The company also said that it will continue to offer education customers some configurations of the current eMac, iBook, and CRT iMac that will boot into Mac OS 9 until June 2003. In September, Apple announced that starting in January 2003 all new Mac models will only boot into Mac OS X, while retaining the ability to run most Mac OS 9 applications using Mac OS X’s ‘Classic’ environment.
