Is mac osx 9 a good opperating system?

Answer 1

Mac OS 9 is a very mature and some think better operating system than OS X. However, Apple no longer supports OS 9 so if you have trouble you may be out of luck.

Answer 2

Hi Grilled cheese lover,

Well, first off, Mac OS X is Mac OS 10 which is far superior to Mac OS 9 which is, naturally the older (classic) OS. OS X is the direction that you need to go if you possibly can install it on your Macintosh hardware. Please check your Macintosh to see if it is capable of running on it.

All of Apple's support as well as third-party developers, is directed towards OS X and not OS 9. However, if you have ancient beige Macintosh hardware (before PowerPC processor) then Mac OS 9 might be the only OS that you can run on it. You didn't mention what hardware that you have.

You might be able still do a search at the Apple web site to find out what your hardware can run on it. It lists all of the past Mac models somewhere there and the technical information about them.

Best of luck to you.
